Don Juan Sings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC ECCE FGGF

Lightly kiss and lightly passA
Ere the sleeping Love shall wakeB
Nimble footed lean and takeB
Blossoms from a blind morassA
-
Past the dragon coiled in slumberC
Steal and filch his guarded goldD
Taking all your hands may holdD
And your hasty glances numberC
-
Shadowy breasts and breasts of snowE
Bear the rounded fruits of pleasureC
Taste them all nor seek to treasureC
Aught that turns to dust and woeE
-
Somber locks and tresses fairF
In them all your fingers tangleG
Leave them lest your heart should strangleG
In a noose of woman's hairF

Clark Ashton Smith
