Heart's Haven Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCCE| Sometimes she is a child within mine arms | A |
| Cowering beneath dark wings that love must chase | B |
| With still tears showering and averted face | B |
| Inexplicably filled with faint alarms | A |
| And oft from mine own spirit's hurtling harms | A |
| I crave the refuge of her deep embrace | B |
| Against all ills the fortified strong place | B |
| And sweet reserve of sovereign counter charms | A |
| - | |
| And Love our light at night and shade at noon | C |
| Lulls us to rest with songs and turns away | D |
| All shafts of shelterless tumultuous day | D |
| Like the moon's growth his face gleams through his tune | C |
| And as soft waters warble to the moon | C |
| Our answering spirits chime one roundelay | E |
