Avowal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBC DEFEDF| Whatever alien fruits and changeling faces | A |
| And pleasances of mutable perfume | B |
| The flambeaux of the senses shall illume | B |
| Amid the night furled labyrinthine spaces | A |
| In lives to be in unestablished places | A |
| All all were vain as the rock raveled spume | B |
| If no strange close restore the Paphian bloom | B |
| No path return the moon shod maenad's paces | C |
| - | |
| Yea for the lover of lost pagan things | D |
| No vintage grown in islands unascended | E |
| Shall quite supplant the old Bacchantic urn | F |
| No mouth that new Canopic suns make splendid | E |
| Content the mouth of sealed rememberings | D |
| Where still the nymph's uncleaving kisses burn | F |
