The Dregs Of Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Think you that I will drain the dregs of Love | A |
| I who have quaffed the sweetness on its brink | B |
| Now by the steadfast burning stars above | A |
| Better to faint of thirst than thuswise drink | B |
| What shall we twain who saw love's glorious fires | C |
| Flame toward the sky and flush Heaven's self with light | D |
| Crouch by the embers as the glow expires | C |
| And huddle closer from mere dread of night | D |
| No cast love's goblet in oblivion's well | E |
| Scatter love's ashes o'er the field of time | F |
| Yet ere we part one kiss whereon to dwell | E |
| When life sounds senseless as some feeble rhyme | F |
| Lo as lips touch anew Love's cresset glows | G |
| And Love's sweet cup refills and overflows | G |
