Love Malevolent Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDE FGH GFH| I fain would love thee but thy lips are fed | A |
| With poison honey hiv d in a skull | B |
| They seem like scarlet poppies beautiful | B |
| For delving roots deep clench d in the dead | A |
| - | |
| Thine eyes are coloured like the nightshade flow'r | C |
| Blent in the opiate perfume of thy breath | D |
| Are dreams and purple sleep and scented death | D |
| For him that is thy lover for an hour | E |
| - | |
| Mandragora within the graveyard grown | F |
| Hath given thee its carnal root to eat | G |
| And vipers born and nurstled in a tomb | H |
| - | |
| From fawning mouths drip venom at thy feet | G |
| Yet from thy lethal lips and thine alone | F |
| Love would I drink as dew from poison bloom | H |
