Xxxvi Life-in-love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBC DEEDFFNot in thy body is thy life at all | A |
But in this lady's lips and hands and eyes | B |
Through these she yields thee life that vivifies | B |
What else were sorrow's servant and death's thrall | A |
Look on thyself without her and recall | A |
The waste remembrance and forlorn surmise | B |
That liv'd but in a dead drawn breath of sighs | B |
O'er vanish'd hours and hours eventual | C |
- | |
Even so much life hath the poor tress of hair | D |
Which stor'd apart is all love hath to show | E |
For heart beats and for fire heats long ago | E |
Even so much life endures unknown even where | D |
'Mid change the changeless night environeth | F |
Lies all that golden hair undimm'd in death | F |
