The Perfect Present Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDECE| SO I have kissed you And this hour is mine | A |
| Its light along the level future lasts | B |
| It crowns a drab eternity of Pasts | B |
| Here soul and soul have crossed the border line | A |
| Of self and merged No years can e'er untwine | A |
| This hour from us What though to morrow casts | B |
| The memory out and your cold glance contrasts | B |
| With this day's rich red lips need I repine | A |
| No I have kissed you And the brief warm flower | C |
| Born of our lips perfumes eternity | D |
| From the long loneliness that silently | D |
| Stretches behind before I am content | E |
| To cull this blossom of one perfect hour | C |
| To snatch one star from Time's deep firmament | E |
