Semper Eadem Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDF GHI JKL| You said there grows within you some strange gloom | A |
| A sea rising on rock why is it so | B |
| When once your heart has brought its harvest home | C |
| Life is an evil secret all men know | B |
| - | |
| A simple sorrow not mysterious | D |
| And like your joy it sparkles for us all | E |
| So lovely one be not so curious | D |
| And even though your voice is sweet be still | F |
| - | |
| Be quiet silly girl Soul of delight | G |
| Mouth of the childish laugh More still than Life | H |
| Death holds us often in the subtlest ways | I |
| - | |
| So let my heart be lost within a lie | J |
| As in a sweet dream plunge into your eyes | K |
| And sleep a long time in your lashes' shade | L |
