Anteros Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB ACACAC AADADA

What voice O vengeful AnterosA
Has called thee from the seedless wealdB
Dark sower of the tares of lossA
Amid the foison of love's fieldB
What mouth O mournful AnterosA
Must eat the grain the seasons yieldB
-
Thy touch O mortal AnterosA
Has turned the sapphic laurel sereC
Thy wings have cast their night acrossA
The dial of our Saturnian yearC
The cypress O sad AnterosA
Grew darker when thou drewest nearC
-
O lover thy black prayer unsayA
Who called on baleful AnterosA
Crown thee with nettles kneel and layD
Thy brows upon love's altar closeA
To the departing Eros prayD
Against the wrath of AnterosA
