Dead Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EBF EBFIs it a dream is it a memory | A |
That underneath some warmer moon of yore | B |
We dreamt of love we dreamt forevermore | B |
To make of Love our immortality | A |
- | |
Alas alas for all the moons of old | C |
And all the golden suns are blind with gloom | D |
To thee alone in some forgotten tomb | D |
The worm with clinging kisses wan and cold | C |
- | |
Mocking my love came long ago thine eyes | E |
That were the mirrors of mine own desire | B |
Hold everlasting darkness life and lust | F |

Are shadows in the lonely night that lies | E |
Mute on thy lips and Love's triumphant fire | B |
Is one for me with thy forgotten dust | F |
