Lotus Hurt By The Cold Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CAAC DEED FGGH| How many times like lotus lilies risen | A |
| Upon the surface of a river there | B |
| Have risen floating on my blood the rare | B |
| Soft glimmers of my hope escaped from prison | A |
| - | |
| So I am clothed all over with the light | C |
| And sensitive beautiful blossoming of passion | A |
| Till naked for her in the finest fashion | A |
| The flowers of all my mud swim into sight | C |
| - | |
| And then I offer all myself unto | D |
| This woman who likes to love me but she turns | E |
| A look of hate upon the flower that burns | E |
| To break and pour her out its precious dew | D |
| - | |
| And slowly all the blossom shuts in pain | F |
| And all the lotus buds of love sink over | G |
| To die unopened when my moon faced lover | G |
| Kind on the weight of suffering smiles again | H |
