Only A Glove Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDCDD EFEFF EDEDD| Only a glove that has touched her fingers | A |
| But it seems to me something half divine | B |
| A delicate fragrance about it lingers | A |
| And it stirs my blood like wine | B |
| Yes thrills and warms me like wine | B |
| - | |
| So well I remember the night she wore it | C |
| How I held the hand in its dainty glove | D |
| And whispered sweetly as I leaned o'er it | C |
| Whispered a tale of love | D |
| A story of my mad love | D |
| - | |
| There was mirth and music and light and laughter | E |
| The viols played and the dancers whirled | F |
| We were part of it all but a moment after | E |
| Were alone in love's fair world | F |
| Alone in God's own world | F |
| - | |
| But now of that night of glow and splendour | E |
| Of happy hope and beautiful love | D |
| Of youthful dreams that were sweetly tender | E |
| There is nothing left but a glove | D |
| Nothing but this one glove | D |
