To O.e.a. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDEEEFFGHG| Your voice is the color of a robin's breast | A |
| And there's a sweet sob in it like rain still rain in the night | B |
| Among the leaves of the trumpet tree close to his nest | A |
| The pea dove sings and each note thrills me with strange delight | B |
| Like the words wet with music that well from your trembling throat | C |
| I'm afraid of your eyes they're so bold | D |
| Searching me through reading my thoughts shining like gold | D |
| But sometimes they are gentle and soft like the dew on the lips of the eucharis | E |
| Before the sun comes warm with his lover's kiss | E |
| You are sea foam pure with the star's loveliness | E |
| Not mortal a flower a fairy too fair for the beauty shorn earth | F |
| All wonderful things all beautiful things gave of their wealth to your birth | F |
| Oh I love you so much not recking of passion that I feel it is wrong | G |
| But men will love you flower fairy non mortal spirit burdened with flesh | H |
| Forever life long | G |
