Remember, Body... Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHICJ

Body remember not only how much you were lovedA
not only the beds on which you layB
but also those desires which for youC
plainly glowed in the eyesD
and trembled in the voice and someE
chance obstacle made them futileF
Now that all belongs to the pastG
it is almost as if you had yieldedH
to those desires too rememberI
how they glowed in the eyes looking at youC
how they trembled in the voice for you remember bodyJ
