Proem Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEDEDCC| Ah why so brief the visit short his stay | A |
| The acquaintance so surprising and so sweet | B |
| Stolen is my heart 't is journeying far away | A |
| With that shy stranger whom my voice did greet | B |
| That hour so fertile of entrancing thought | C |
| So rapt the conversation and so free | D |
| My heart lost soundings tenderly upcaught | C |
| Driven by soft sails of love and ecstasy | D |
| Was I then was I clasped in Love's embrace | E |
| And touched with ardors of divinity | D |
| Spake with my chosen lover face to face | E |
| Espoused then truly such my destiny | D |
| I cannot tell but own the pleasing theft | C |
| That when the stranger went I was of Love bereft | C |
