But Grant, O Venus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACADCAD| Though love had dreamt of soft eternities | A |
| For never flagging pulses still to mete | B |
| Those minutes of our bliss were few and fleet | B |
| Breast pillowed in their aftermath of ease | A |
| She said to me at midnight 'Memories | A |
| Are all we have in the end ' Ah bitter sweet | B |
| The doom that tolling bells of thought repeat | B |
| This verity of solemn verities | A |
| Wherein the sorrowful senses find despair | C |
| And the heart an iridescence on dark tears | A |
| But grant O Venus of the hidden hill | D |
| That many a rose lit eve remain to share | C |
| And midnights in the unascended years | A |
| And starry memories unbegotten still | D |
