A Valentine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACCDCECFCFGAGHGHGH| For her this rhyme is penned whose luminous eyes | A |
| Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda | B |
| Shall find her own sweet name that nestling lies | A |
| Upon the page enwrapped from every reader | C |
| Search narrowly the lines they hold a treasure | C |
| Divine a talisman an amulet | D |
| That must be worn at heart Search well the measure | C |
| The words the syllables Do not forget | E |
| The trivialest point or you may lose your labor | C |
| And yet there is in this no Gordian knot | F |
| Which one might not undo without a sabre | C |
| If one could merely comprehend the plot | F |
| Enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering | G |
| Eyes scintillating soul there lie perdus | A |
| Three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing | G |
| Of poets by poets as the name is a poet's too | H |
| Its letters although naturally lying | G |
| Like the knight Pinto Mendez Ferdinando | H |
| Still form a synonym for Truth Cease trying | G |
| You will not read the riddle though you do the best you can do | H |
