What Lips My Lips Have Kissed, And Where, And Why (sonnet Xliii) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEFGDF| What lips my lips have kissed and where and why | A |
| I have forgotten and what arms have lain | B |
| Under my head till morning but the rain | B |
| Is full of ghosts tonight that tap and sigh | A |
| Upon the glass and listen for reply | A |
| And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain | B |
| For unremembered lads that not again | C |
| Will turn to me at midnight with a cry | A |
| Thus in winter stands the lonely tree | D |
| Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one | E |
| Yet knows its boughs more silent than before | F |
| I cannot say what loves have come and gone | G |
| I only know that summer sang in me | D |
| A little while that in me sings no more | F |
