Only To One Returned Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCDEED| Often before the mortal mouth has known | A |
| What fruit the vagrant phoenixes devour | B |
| In Melusina's or Armida's bower | B |
| Not fully savored are the apples grown | A |
| In charmless orchards closed about with stone | A |
| Only to one returned in some late hour | B |
| From shores of lote where guardian scyllas glower | B |
| The sweetness of the fruits of earth is shown | A |
| - | |
| Thus turning from translunar seasons bleak | C |
| Or borderlands of Endor ill to seek | C |
| Where necromancy's wandering wisps grow dim | D |
| And Lilith and her night bound daughters dwell | E |
| Love finds again some fleshly citadel | E |
| Safe walled with many a pleasance sweet to him | D |
