Love's Mirage Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAA BAABAA| Midway upon the route he paused athirst | A |
| And suddenly across the wastes of heat | A |
| He saw cool waters gleaming and a sweet | A |
| Green oasis upon his vision burst | A |
| A tender dream long in his bosom nursed | A |
| Spread love's illusive verdure for his feet | A |
| The barren sands changed into golden wheat | A |
| The way grew glad that late had seemed accursed | A |
| - | |
| She shone the woman wonder on his soul | B |
| The garden spot for which men toil and wait | A |
| The house of rest that is each heart's demand | A |
| But when at last he reached the gleaming goal | B |
| He found oh cruel irony of fate | A |
| But desert sun upon the desert sand | A |
