Falsehood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDDEEC FFGGHEEIIH| Still do the stars impart their light | A |
| To those that travel in the night | A |
| Still time runs on nor doth the hand | B |
| Or shadow on the dial stand | B |
| The streams still glide and constant are | C |
| Only thy mind | D |
| Untrue I find | D |
| Which carelessly | E |
| Neglects to be | E |
| Like stream or shadow hand or star | C |
| - | |
| Fool that I am I do recall | F |
| My words and swear thou'rt like them all | F |
| Thou seem'st like stars to nourish fire | G |
| But O how cold is thy desire | G |
| And like the hand upon the brass | H |
| Thou point'st at me | E |
| In mockery | E |
| If I come nigh | I |
| Shade like thou'lt fly | I |
| And as the stream with murmur pass | H |
