Hymn To Eros Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDFGAH IJAKLAHHMNOP

O Eros silently smiling one hear meA
Let the shadow of thy wingsB
brush meA
Let thy presenceC
enfold me as if darknessD
were swandownE
Let me see that darknessD
lamp in handF
this country becomeG
the other countryA
sacred to desireH
-
Drowsy godI
slow the wheels of my thoughtJ
so that I listen onlyA
to the snowfall hush ofK
thy circlingL
Close my beloved with meA
in the smoke ring of thy powerH
that we way be each to the otherH
figures of flameM
figures of smokeN
figures of fleshO
newly seen in the duskP
