To Others Than You Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBEEFGHIJKLKMC NOPQFriend by enemy I call you out | A |
You with a bad coin in your socket | B |
You my friend there with a winning air | C |
Who palmed the lie on me when you looked | D |
Brassily at my shyest secret | B |
Enticed with twinkling bits of the eye | E |
Till the sweet tooth of my love bit dry | E |
Rasped at last and I stumbled and sucked | F |
Whom now I conjure to stand as thief | G |
In the memory worked by mirrors | H |
With unforgettably smiling act | I |
Quickness of hand in the velvet glove | J |
And my whole heart under your hammer | K |
Were once such a creature so gay and frank | L |
A desireless familiar | K |
I never thought to utter or think | M |
While you displaced a truth in the air | C |
- | |
That though I loved them for their faults | N |
As much as for their good | O |
My friends were enemies on stilts | P |
With their heads in a cunning cloud | Q |
