The Barrier Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JEFE| In the desire of welded lips | A |
| Of heart on prone tumultuous heart | B |
| Abides no stronger thing than this | C |
| Dread love that keeps our lips apart | B |
| - | |
| Between us lies an ancient fear | D |
| Before me in thy troubled eyes | E |
| A shadow flees as flees the nymph | F |
| Tremulous with the faun's surprise | E |
| - | |
| Hard silence like a stifling hand | G |
| Withholds the word we fain would say | H |
| Over us lies the dreamt caress | I |
| Transfix d with a dear dismay | H |
| - | |
| When shall the passion of the faun | J |
| Resistless in my heart arise | E |
| And take the warm and trembling nymph | F |
| That flees within thy startled eyes | E |
