No Rose That In A Garden Ever Grew Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBBCDECDENo rose that in a garden ever grew | A |
In Homer's or in Omar's or in mine | B |
Though buried under centuries of fine | B |
Dead dust of roses shut from sun and dew | A |
Forever and forever lost from view | A |
But must again in fragrance rich as wine | B |
The grey aisles of the air incarnadine | B |
When the old summers surge into a new | B |
Thus when I swear I love with all my heart | C |
'Tis with the heart of Lilith that I swear | D |
'Tis with the love of Lesbia and Lucrece | E |
And thus as well my love must lose some part | C |
Of what it is had Helen been less fair | D |
Or perished young or stayed at home in Greece | E |
