Love Lies Bleeding Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BAB ABAB

Love lies bleeding in the bed whereoverA
Roses lean with smiling mouths or pleadingB
Earth lies laughing where the sun's dart clove herA
Love lies bleedingB
-
Stately shine his purple plumes exceedingB
Pride of princes nor shall maid or loverA
Find on earth a fairer sign worth heedingB
-
Yet may love sore wounded scarce recoverA
Strength and spirit again with life recedingB
Hope and joy wind winged about him hoverA
Love lies bleedingB

Algernon Charles Swinburne
