Friendship After Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEE| After 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 |
