The Kiss Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCCD| What smouldering senses in death's sick delay | A |
| Or seizure of malign vicissitude | B |
| Can rob this body of honour or denude | B |
| This soul of wedding raiment worn to day | A |
| For lo even now my lady's lips did play | A |
| With these my lips such consonant interlude | B |
| As laurelled Orpheus longed for when he wooed | B |
| The half drawn hungering face with that last lay | A |
| - | |
| I was a child beneath her touch a man | C |
| When breast to breast we clung even I and she | D |
| A spirit when her spirit looked through me | D |
| A god when all our life breath met to fan | C |
| Our life blood till love's emulous ardours ran | C |
| Fire within fire desire in deity | D |
