L'amour Supreme Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD CEFG HIJ KLM

Among the great ennuis and great longings laid in ashesA
One only loves flames evermore in meB
Such an old volcano with ever mounting fireC
In an aging world whereon the night descendsD
-
Otherwise all is dead all is grown dark and froreC
But by this proud flambeau magistral and supremeE
One sees the withered woods clear lined on a pale heavenF
And the thunder blasted walls of a sunken kingdomG
-
O my dreams wandering like old nomadsH
The length of a vain way sullen and baffledI
Seeking the faded fields the vanished wellsJ
-
Let this flame lead you under a final skyK
To the valley verdant still where every flower is fullL
Of the honey mingled rain of your first nightsM

Clark Ashton Smith
