Friendship After Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEEAfter the fierce midsummer all ablaze | A |
Has burned itself to ashes and expires | B |
In the intensity of its own fires | B |
There come the mellow mild St Martin days | A |
Crowned with the calm of peace but sad with haze | A |
So after Love has led us till he tires | B |
Of his own throes and torments and desires | B |
Comes large eyed Friendship with a restful gaze | A |
He beckons us to follow and across | C |
Cool verdant vales we wander free from care | D |
Is it a touch of frost lies in the air | D |
Why are we haunted with a sense of loss | C |
We do not wish the pain back or the heat | E |
And yet and yet these days are incomplete | E |
