The Unmerciful Mistress Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDC EFGEFG| Austerest Beauty terrible sublime | A |
| Has claimed my lips with solemn kiss of snow | B |
| Now through my harp the tremors come and go | B |
| Of things not stirred with urgencies of Time | A |
| Now must I tread the snows of lonely moons | C |
| Pale rigors of dead planets desert girt | D |
| Enthrall my dreams solicitous alert | D |
| To keenest colours of supernal moons | C |
| - | |
| Lo in her praise the stern the fearful one | E |
| Whose love is as the light of snows afar | F |
| Whose ways are difficult what word shall be | G |
| I desolate with Beauty and undone | E |
| Say Death is not so strong to change or mar | F |
| And Love and Life not so desired as she | G |
