Loss Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBACADDC EFFFEGEHHG| Once I could find you in my dreams | A |
| Your swaying breasts were apples bright | B |
| In somber sinful crofts of night | B |
| You were the laughter footed sprite | B |
| Who led me on by waning streams | A |
| You were the nymph who called my name | C |
| From fountains of forlorn extremes | A |
| But still however far and fast | D |
| You lied our lips would meet at last | D |
| In vales eloigned from time and shame | C |
| - | |
| Alas I cannot find you now | E |
| From alp to phantom alp in sleep | F |
| A phantom light they cannot keep | F |
| Goes outward to the oblivious deep | F |
| And fades from my pursuing brow | E |
| Lost in a wood of shadowy leaf | G |
| Vain laughter dies I know not how | E |
| Remote alone and unredeemed | H |
| And I forget the dream I dreamed | H |
| And sadden with evasive grief | G |
