The Love Of Illusion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD ACEC FGHG IAAA JAAA KLFL| When I watch you go by in all your indolence | A |
| To sound of instruments within the echoing hall | B |
| Suspending your appeal of lingering harmony | C |
| And showing in your glance the ennui of your soul | D |
| - | |
| And when I contemplate in colouring flames of gas | A |
| Your pallid brow enhanced with a morbidity | C |
| Where torches of the evening light a promised dawn | E |
| Abd your alluring eyes a master's artistry | C |
| - | |
| I think how lovely and how oddly innocent | F |
| Massive remembrance that great tower raised above | G |
| Crowns her and oh her heart bruised like a softened peach | H |
| Is mellow like her body ripe for skilful love | G |
| - | |
| Are you the fruit of fall when flavour is supreme | I |
| Funeral vase that waits for tears in darkened rooms | A |
| Perfume that brings the far oases to our dreams | A |
| Caressing pillow or a basket of fresh blooms | A |
| - | |
| I know that there are eyes the finest and most sad | J |
| That hide no precious secrets neither truths nor lies | A |
| Handsome like empty lockets caskets without jewels | A |
| More empty more profound than you yourselves o skies | A |
| - | |
| But is it not enough that your appearance can | K |
| Restore to joy a heart that flees from what is true | L |
| What if you are inane what if indifferent | F |
| Mask decoration hail Beauty I worship you | L |
