Apologia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFE CCEGGE CCCHHC| O gentlest love I have not played | A |
| For you upon the lute of jade | A |
| Nor on that fabulous bassoon | B |
| Wrought from the horns of minotaurs | C |
| And set with subtly changing spars | C |
| And lucid metals of the moon | B |
| - | |
| The thing my childish fingers found | D |
| Cast on a god frequented ground | D |
| And unto whose compelling note | E |
| Sprang the brown dryad from her tree | F |
| And palest vampires came to me | F |
| With limbs more sweet than trodden lote | E |
| - | |
| I have not made such melodies | C |
| As call the philtered sorceries | C |
| But I will weave some autumn day | E |
| A song to make your beauty mine | G |
| Wrought not with mystical design | G |
| And chords of passionate dismay | E |
| - | |
| For I will tell with wonted words | C |
| A tale of two that autumn birds | C |
| Had led beneath oblivious skies | C |
| Who plucked the wilding asters rare | H |
| And peered from grasses like your hair | H |
| To distance blue as your blue eyes | C |
