The Appeal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC AD A A EA AAAA AAAA| ALL summer time you said | A |
| 'Love has no need of shelter nor of kindness | B |
| For all the flowers take pity on his blindness | B |
| And lead him to his scented rose soft bed ' | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| 'He is a king ' you said | A |
| 'That I bow not the knee will never grieve him | D |
| For all the summer palaces receive him ' | - |
| But now Love has not where to lay his head | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| 'He is a god ' you said | A |
| 'His altars are wherever roses blossom ' | - |
| And summer made his altar of her bosom | E |
| But now the altar is ungarlanded | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| Take back the words you said | A |
| Out in the rain he shivers broken hearted | A |
| Summer who bore him has with tears departed | A |
| And o'er her grave he weeps uncomforted | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| And you for all you said | A |
| Would weep too if when dawn stills the wind's riot | A |
| You found him on your threshold pale and quiet | A |
| Clasped him at last and found the child was dead | A |
