Ecstasy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABA CCDC EFGF HHIH AAJA| Blind with your softly fallen hair | A |
| I turn me from the twilight air | A |
| And ah the wordless tale of love | B |
| My lips upon your lips declare | A |
| - | |
| High stars are on the shadowy south | C |
| Unseen unknown the urgent drouth | C |
| Of desolate years in one deep kiss | D |
| Would drain the sweetness of your mouth | C |
| - | |
| Our straining arms that clasp and close | E |
| Ache with an ecstasy that grows | F |
| And passion in our secret veins | G |
| Like burning amber glows and glows | F |
| - | |
| This love is sweet to have and hold | H |
| Better than sandalwood or gold | H |
| After the barren bitter loves | I |
| The mad and mournful loves of old | H |
| - | |
| This love is fortunate and fair | A |
| Behind its veil of fallen hair | A |
| This love has soft and clinging arms | J |
| And a kind bosom warm and bare | A |
