Ballade At Thirty-five Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDBE CBCBBEBE CBCBBEBE

This no song of an ing eacute nueA
This no ballad of innocenceB
This the rhyme of a lady whoC
Followed ever her natural bentsB
This a solo of sapienceB
This a chantey of sophistryD
This the sum of experimentsB
I loved them until they loved meE
-
Decked in garments of sable hueC
Daubed with ashes of myriad LentsB
Wearing shower bouquets of rueC
Walk I ever in penitenceB
Oft I roam as my heart repentsB
Through God's acre of memoryE
Marking stones in my reverenceB
I loved them until they loved meE
-
Pictures pass me in long reviewC
Marching columns of dead eventsB
I was tender and often trueC
Ever a prey to coincidenceB
Always knew I the consequenceB
Always saw what the end would beE
We're as Nature has made us henceB
I loved them until they loved meE
