Sufficiency Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEE EFFCCGHHG| To house our happy love | A |
| We long for an alcove | B |
| Curtained against the dawn in Ispahan | C |
| Or some Algerian roof whereon | C |
| At eventide to lie | D |
| And watch the fiery passing of the sky | D |
| Till morning takes the last star ere it set | E |
| Beyond the parapet | E |
| - | |
| And yet | E |
| In this one little room this homely place | F |
| Have we not known enough of time and space | F |
| With mouths together drawn | C |
| Have we not prayed the night to linger on | C |
| And found as much of glamor manifold | G |
| Of happiness and pleasure | H |
| As our four hands can measure | H |
| And our two hearts can hold | G |
