The Love-letter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCEEWarmed by her hand and shadowed by her hair | A |
As close she leaned and poured her heart through thee | B |
Whereof the articulate throbs accompany | B |
The smooth black stream that makes thy whiteness fair | A |
Sweet fluttering sheet even of her breath aware | A |
Oh let thy silent song disclose to me | B |
That soul wherewith her lips and eyes agree | B |
Like married music in Love's answering air | A |
- | |
Fain had I watched her when at some fond thought | C |
Her bosom to the writing closelier press'd | D |
And her breast's secrets peered into her breast | D |
When through eyes raised an instant her soul sought | C |
My soul and from the sudden confluence caught | E |
The words that made her love the loveliest | E |
