On An Air Of Rameau Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBB CDDC EFFE

A melancholy desire of ancient thingsA
Floats like a faded perfume out of the wiresB
Pallid lovers what unforgotten desiresB
Whispered once are retold in your whisperingsB
-
Roses roses and lilies with hearts of goldC
These you plucked for her these she wore in her breastD
Only Rameau's music remembers the restD
The death of roses over a heart grown coldC
-
But these sighs Can ghosts then sigh from the tombE
Life then wept for you sighed for you chilled your breathF
It is the melancholy of ancient deathF
The harpsichord dreams of sighing in the roomE
