Love-sweetness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBA DBBDDB| Sweet dimness of her loosened hair's downfall | A |
| About thy face her sweet hands round thy head | B |
| In gracious fostering union garlanded | B |
| Her tremulous smiles her glances' sweet recall | A |
| Of love her murmuring sighs memorial | C |
| Her mouth's culled sweetness by thy kisses shed | B |
| On cheeks and neck and eyelids and so led | B |
| Back to her mouth which answers there for all | A |
| - | |
| What sweeter than these things except the thing | D |
| In lacking which all these would lose their sweet | B |
| The confident heart's still fervour the swift beat | B |
| And soft subsidence of the spirit's wing | D |
| Then when it feels in cloud girt wayfaring | D |
| The breath of kindred plumes against its feet | B |
