Second Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGG| So surely is she mine you say and turn | A |
| Your quick and steady mind to harder things | B |
| To bills and bonds and talk of what men earn | A |
| And whistle up the stair of evenings | B |
| And do you see a dream behind my eyes | C |
| Or ask a simple question twice of me | D |
| Thus women are you say for men are wise | C |
| And tolerant in their security | D |
| - | |
| How shall I count the midnights I have known | E |
| When calm you turn to me nor feel me start | F |
| To find my easy lips upon your own | E |
| And know my breast beneath your rhythmic heart | F |
| Your god defer the day I tell you this | G |
| My lad my lad it is not you I kiss | G |
