Hidden Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGGGHIJJJJ AAKKEE| The bird of Fortune sings when free | A |
| But captured soon grows dumb and we | A |
| To hear his fast declining powers | B |
| Must soon forget that he is ours | B |
| So when I win that maid no doubt | C |
| Love soon will seem to be half out | C |
| Like blighted leaves drooped to the ground | D |
| Whose roots are still untouched and sound | D |
| So will our love's root still be strong | E |
| When others think the leaves go wrong | E |
| Though we may quarrel 'twill not prove | F |
| That she and I are less in love | G |
| The parrot though he mocked the dove | G |
| Died when she died and proved his love | G |
| When merry springtime comes we hear | H |
| How all things into love must stir | I |
| How birds would rather sing than eat | J |
| How joyful sheep would rather bleat | J |
| And daffodils nod heads of gold | J |
| And dance in April's sparkling cold | J |
| So in our early love did we | A |
| Dance much and skip and laugh with glee | A |
| But let none think our love is flown | K |
| If when we're married little's shown | K |
| E'en though our lips be dumb of song | E |
| Our hearts can still be singing strong | E |
