The Crucifixion Of Eros Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EEF GHF| Because of thee immortal Love hath died | A |
| Because thy wilful heart will not believe | B |
| Thy hands and mine a thorny crown must weave | B |
| And build a cross for Love the crucified | A |
| - | |
| Behold how beautiful the limbs that bleed | C |
| The limbs that bleed O stubborn heart for us | D |
| Stilled are the lids so softly tremulous | D |
| And mute the mouth of our eternal need | C |
| - | |
| Though this thy fearful lips would now deny | E |
| Love is divine and cannot wholly die | E |
| Draw forth the nails thy tender hands have driven | F |
| - | |
| And we will know the mercy infinite | G |
| Will find redemption in our own delight | H |
| And in each other's heart the only heaven | F |
