The Immortals Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGG| If you should sail for Trebizond or die | A |
| Or cry another name in your first sleep | B |
| Or see me board a train and fail to sigh | A |
| Appropriately I'd clutch my breast and weep | B |
| And you if I should wander through the door | C |
| Or sin or seek a nunnery or save | D |
| My lips and give my cheek would tread the floor | C |
| And aptly mention poison and the grave | D |
| - | |
| Therefore the mooning world is gratified | E |
| Quoting how prettily we sigh and swear | F |
| And you and I correctly side by side | E |
| Shall live as lovers when our bones are bare | F |
| And though we lie forever enemies | G |
| Shall rank with Abelard and Heloise | G |
