Love's Secret Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCCCCDEDF| As a most happy mother feels the stir | A |
| Of that new life which quickens with her life | B |
| And knows that virtue has gone forth from her | A |
| To doubly sanctify the name of wife | B |
| Yet for her joy's sake and because pride | C |
| Is too unutterably sanctified | C |
| And all the heaven of heavens within her breast | C |
| Too dearly and too intimately possessed | C |
| Speaks not a word but folds her new delight | C |
| With a rapt silence comforting as night | C |
| So when I felt the quickening life that came | D |
| To bid my life's long slumbering currents move | E |
| I set the seal of silence on your name | D |
| And for my love's sake never told my love | F |
