The Least Possible Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCAB DEFFDE GGCCGG| DEAR goddess of the shining shrine | A |
| Where all my votive tapers burn | B |
| Where every gold embroidered thought | C |
| And all my flowers of life are brought | C |
| With many alas that are not mine | A |
| What will you give me in return | B |
| - | |
| The bow in Bond Street in the Park | D |
| The smile all worship on your lips | E |
| The courteous word at dinner dance | F |
| But never a blush a conscious glance | F |
| At most at Henley in the dark | D |
| Your fleet mistaken finger tips | E |
| - | |
| Ah just for once once only be | G |
| An altar server stoop and set me | G |
| Upon the altar richly wrought | C |
| Of your most secret flower sweet thought | C |
| One nightlight's flicker burn for me | G |
| Before you sleep and quite forget me | G |
