Winged Hours Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBA DEFDGG| Each hour until we meet is as a bird | A |
| That wings from far his gradual way along | B |
| The rustling covert of my soul his song | B |
| Still loudlier trilled through leaves more deeply stirr'd | A |
| But at the hour of meeting a clear word | A |
| Is every note he sings in Love's own tongue | C |
| Yet Love thou know'st the sweet strain wrong | B |
| Through our contending kisses oft unheard | A |
| - | |
| What of that hour at last when for her sake | D |
| No wing may fly to me nor song may flow | E |
| When wandering round my life unleaved I | F |
| The bloodied feathers scattered in the brake | D |
| And think how she far from me with like eyes | G |
| Sees through the untuneful bough the wingless skies | G |
