The Graves Of The Harem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDEE| They sleep well here whom Allah loved and kept | A |
| And treasured in his vineyard fair and fine | B |
| Most lustrous of the Orient pearls that shine | B |
| Which youth found where the waves of passion swept | A |
| Here where in peace perpetual they have slept | A |
| A turban beckons where the roses twine | B |
| A banner flutters out in silken line | B |
| And sometimes here a Giaour's name is kept | A |
| - | |
| Oh roses of this paradise of old | C |
| The eyes that loved not Allah saw you not | D |
| Nor arms that prayed not eastward could enfold | C |
| But now a Christian treads this hallowed spot | D |
| Wise Allah curse not him who bows his head | E |
| Amid the marble shrines of Allah's dead | E |
