Beauty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGEFG| Oh Beauty passing beauty sweetest Sweet | A |
| How canst thou let me waste my youth in sighs | B |
| I only ask to sit beside thy feet | A |
| Thou knowest I dare not look into thine eyes | B |
| Might I but kiss thy hand I dare not fold | C |
| My arms about thee scarcely dare to speak | D |
| And nothing seems to me so wild and bold | C |
| As with one kiss to touch thy bless d cheek | D |
| Methinks if I should kiss thee no control | E |
| Within the thrilling brain could keep afloat | F |
| The subtle spirit Even while I spoke | G |
| The bare word KISS hath made my inner soul | E |
| To tremble like a lutestring ere the note | F |
| Hath melted in the silence that it broke | G |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
