The Hidden Paradise Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEED FGEGFE| Our passion is a secret paradise | A |
| Eden of lotos and the fruitful date | B |
| With silence walled and held undesecrate | B |
| By man or prying seraph we are wise | C |
| - | |
| As any god and goddess who have wrung | D |
| From roseal fruitage of a bough forbidden | E |
| The happy wine we drink we drink unchidden | E |
| Deep in the vales where vernal leaves are young | D |
| - | |
| And the first poppies loiter Though the breath | F |
| Of all the gods a bolted storm prepare | G |
| Till blood red gloom of thunders blind the sun | E |
| Shall we not turn with clinging kisses there | G |
| And laughing quaff some dreamless wine of death | F |
| Triumphant still in mere oblivion | E |
