When I Watch The Living Meet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGHWhen I watch the living meet | A |
And the moving pageant file | B |
Warm and breathing through the street | A |
Where I lodge a little while | B |
- | |
If the heats of hate and lust | C |
In the house of flesh are strong | D |
Let me mind the house of dust | C |
Where my sojourn shall be long | D |
- | |
In the nation that is not | E |
Nothing stands that stood before | F |
There revenges are forgot | E |
And the hater hates no more | F |
- | |
Lovers lying two and two | G |
Ask not whom they sleep beside | H |
And the bridegroom all night through | G |
Never turns him to the bride | H |
