Over And Done Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA ACCADD| WE might have held back from Love's draught divine | A |
| For many a wistful sad and happy day | B |
| Tasting the voluntary sweet delay | B |
| Of lips that at the cup's edge touch the wine | A |
| Yet will not drink knowing that when the fine | A |
| Eagerly tasted thirst grows pain they may | B |
| Drink deep We might have missed Love's only way | B |
| And thou and I been never mine and thine | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| Instead we sprang straight to the hidden shrine | A |
| Nor lingered in the temple's outer part | C |
| We plucked our rose to die upon our heart | C |
| Nor left it on its tree to slowly pine | A |
| It dies more quickly for our heart is hot | D |
| But oh if we had seen yet plucked it not | D |
