Song Iv: Draw Near And Behold Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABC DEEDEC EAAEAC ABBABC| Love is enough draw near and behold me | A |
| Ye who pass by the way to your rest and your laughter | B |
| And are full of the hope of the dawn coming after | B |
| For the strong of the world have bought me and sold me | A |
| And my house is all wasted from threshold to rafter | B |
| Pass by me and hearken and think of me not | C |
| - | |
| Cry out and come near for my ears may not hearken | D |
| And my eyes are grown dim as the eyes of the dying | E |
| Is this the grey rack o'er the sun's face a flying | E |
| Or is it your faces his brightness that darken | D |
| Comes a wind from the sea or is it your sighing | E |
| Pass by me and hearken and pity me not | C |
| - | |
| Ye know not how void is your hope and your living | E |
| Depart with your helping lest yet ye undo me | A |
| Ye know not that at nightfall she draweth near to me | A |
| There is soft speech between us and words of forgiving | E |
| Till in dead of the midnight her kisses thrill through me | A |
| Pass by me and harken and waken me not | C |
| - | |
| Wherewith will ye buy it ye rich who behold me | A |
| Draw out from your coffers your rest and your laughter | B |
| And the fair gilded hope of the dawn coming after | B |
| Nay this I sell not though ye bought me and sold me | A |
| For your house stored with such things from threshold to rafter | B |
| Pass by me I hearken and think of you not | C |
