Give Me Your Lips Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEACFFEFCAGGADHBH GG| Give me your lips | A |
| Like to some scarlet fruit of Paradise | B |
| That grew before the gates were barred | C |
| They burn upon my eyes | D |
| Or like to scarlet flowers | E |
| Wherefrom a sweet and subtle poison drips | A |
| Or crimson jewels cold and hard | C |
| That kissed of my desire | F |
| Shall magically melt to wine and fire | F |
| To wine beyond the wine of earthly hours | E |
| To fire | F |
| More than the fire of heavens many starred | C |
| Give me your lips | A |
| When you have laid your vermeil mouth on mine | G |
| No draught no anodyne | G |
| Nor comb wherefrom the amber honey drips | A |
| No marsh drunk beneath the desert skies | D |
| Nor all the green and bitter wine of seas | H |
| No dews of Lethe nor of Paradise | B |
| Not one nor all of these | H |
| Shall take away the taste of fire and wine | G |
| Your lips have left on mine | G |
