Les Lauriers Sont Coupée Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| Ah love within the shadow of the wood | A |
| The laurels are cut down some other brows | B |
| May bear the classic wreath which Fame allows | B |
| And find the burden honorable and good | A |
| Have we not passed the laurels as they stood | A |
| Soft in the veil with which Spring endows | B |
| The wintry glitter of their woven boughs | B |
| Nor stopped to break the branches while we could | A |
| - | |
| Ah love for other brows they are cut down | C |
| Thornless and scentless are their stems and flowers | D |
| And cold as death their twisted coronal | E |
| Sweeter to us the sharpness of this crown | C |
| Sweeter the wildest roses which are ours | D |
| Sweeter the petals even when they fall | E |
