Sonnet Xlv: Secret Parting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDECD| Because our talk was of the cloud control | A |
| And moon track of the journeying face of Fate | B |
| Her tremulous kisses faltered at love's gate | B |
| And her eyes dreamed against a distant goal | A |
| But soon remembering her how brief the whole | A |
| Of joy which its own hours annihilate | B |
| Her set gaze gathered thirstier than of late | B |
| And as she kissed her mouth became her soul | A |
| Thence in what ways we wandered and how strove | C |
| To build with fire tried vows the piteous home | D |
| Which memory haunts and whither sleep may roam | D |
| They only know for whom the roof of Love | E |
| Is the still seated secret of the grove | C |
| Nor spire may rise nor bell be heard therefrom | D |
