As To Some Lovely Temple, Tenantless Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAABCDBEC| As to some lovely temple tenantless | A |
| Long since that once was sweet with shivering brass | A |
| Knowing well its altars ruined and the grass | A |
| Grown up between the stones yet from excess | A |
| Of grief hard driven or great loneliness | A |
| The worshiper returns and those who pass | A |
| Marvel him crying on a name that was | A |
| So is it now with me in my distress | A |
| Your body was a temple to Delight | B |
| Cold are its ashes whence the breath is fled | C |
| Yet here one time your spirit was wont to move | D |
| Here might I hope to find you day or night | B |
| And here I come to look for you my love | E |
| Even now foolishly knowing you are dead | C |
