Love's Last Gift Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCA DEEDFLove to his singer held a glistening leaf | A |
And said 'The rose tree and the apple tree | B |
Have fruits to vaunt or flowers to lure the bee | B |
And golden shafts are in the feathered sheaf | A |
Of the great harvest marshal the year's chief | A |
Victorious Summer aye and 'neath warm sea | B |
Strange secret grasses lurk inviolably | C |
Between the filtering channels of sunk reef | A |
- | |
All are my blooms and all sweet blooms of love | D |
To thee I gave while Spring and Summer sang | E |
But Autumn stops to listen with some pang | E |
From those worse things the wind is moaning of | D |
Only this laurel dreads no winter days | F |
Take my last gift thy heart hath sung my praise ' | - |
