The Barrier Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JEFE

In the desire of welded lipsA
Of heart on prone tumultuous heartB
Abides no stronger thing than thisC
Dread love that keeps our lips apartB
-
Between us lies an ancient fearD
Before me in thy troubled eyesE
A shadow flees as flees the nymphF
Tremulous with the faun's surpriseE
-
Hard silence like a stifling handG
Withholds the word we fain would sayH
Over us lies the dreamt caressI
Transfix d with a dear dismayH
-
When shall the passion of the faunJ
Resistless in my heart ariseE
And take the warm and trembling nymphF
That flees within thy startled eyesE
