The Clod & The Pebble Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED AFAF

Love seeketh not Itself to pleaseA
Nor for itself hath any careB
But for another gives its easeA
And builds a Heaven in Hells despairB
-
So sung a little Clod of ClayC
Trodden with the cattle's feetD
But a Pebble of the brookE
Warbled out these metres meetD
-
Love seeketh only Self to pleaseA
To bind another to Its delightF
Joys in anothers loss of easeA
And builds a Hell in Heavens despiteF

William Blake
