I really liked this poem i thought it was nice and deep. The whole thing is the clocks proving the lovers wrong using personification. I think the fact that the clocks are talking ads more meaning to the poem because who else would know more about time then clocks. The lover uses hyperbole to show his love to emphasis love. But then again, the twist to this poem is that at the end only the river keeps flowing. The lovers leave and the clocks stop chiming. I don't think this poem has much of a rhyme scheme only the even numbered lines actually kind of have a rhyme scheme which goes like AABBCC and so on.
