The Pleiades Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABC DEFDEF GHEGIE AJKAJK GLMGLM| LAST night I saw the Pleiades again | A |
| Faint as a drift of steam | B |
| From some tall chimney stack | C |
| And I remembered you as you were then | A |
| Awoke dead worlds of dream | B |
| And Time turned slowly back | C |
| - | |
| I saw the Pleiades through branches bare | D |
| And close to mine your face | E |
| Soft glowing in the dark | F |
| For Youth and Hope and Love and You were there | D |
| At our dear trysting place | E |
| In that bleak London park | F |
| - | |
| And as we kissed the Pleiades looked down | G |
| From their immeasurable | H |
| Aloofness in cold Space | E |
| Do you remember how a last leaf brown | G |
| Between us flickering fell | I |
| Soft on your upturned face | E |
| - | |
| Last night I saw the Pleiades again | A |
| Here in the alien South | J |
| Where no leaves fade at all | K |
| And I remembered you as you were then | A |
| And felt upon my mouth | J |
| Your leaf light kisses fall | K |
| - | |
| The Pleiades remember and look down | G |
| On me made old with grief | L |
| Who then a young god stood | M |
| When you now lost and trampled by the Town | G |
| A lone wind driven leaf | L |
| Were young and sweet and good | M |
