Fawn-lilies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDB EEFGGF HDHIJJDI| White lilies frail and cold | A |
| With hearts of elfin gold | A |
| Briefer than all brief things your hidden bloom | B |
| Beneath the sombre grove | C |
| Mournful and dear and fair as hapless love | D |
| Foreknowing all the nearness of its doom | B |
| - | |
| White lilies cool and shy | E |
| Delicously ye die | E |
| Before the vesper dews of any morrow | F |
| But now on windless air | G |
| Your perfume lies fresh as a woman's hair | G |
| And faint as myrrh the dreams of noon would borrow | F |
| - | |
| White lilies cold and wan | H |
| As hands of swooming love | D |
| As the fair throat whereon | H |
| My kisses clomb to find her mouth's lit flame | I |
| Ye die and cannot say | J |
| Who passed beneath the April pines today | J |
| And you alone have heard our hidden love | D |
| And known her flow'r soft name | I |
