Three-fold Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACAC DEDEFGFG HIHIFJKJ ALALMNMN| Somewhere I've read a thoughtful mind's reflection | A |
| 'All perfect things are three fold' and I know | B |
| Our love has the rare symbol of perfection | A |
| The brain's response the warm blood's rapturous glow | B |
| The soul's sweet language silent and unspoken | A |
| All these unite us with a deathless tie | C |
| For when our frail clay tenement is broken | A |
| Our spirits will be lovers still on high | C |
| - | |
| My dearest wish you speak before I word it | D |
| You understand the workings of heart | E |
| My soul's thought breathed where only God has heard it | D |
| You fathom with your strange divining art | E |
| And Like a fire that cheers and lights and blesses | F |
| And floods a mansion full of happy heat | G |
| So does the subtle warmth of your caresses | F |
| Pervade me with rapture keen as sweet | G |
| - | |
| And so sometimes as you and I together | H |
| Exult in all dear love's three fold delights | I |
| I cannot help but vaguely wonder whether | H |
| When our free souls attain their spirit heights | I |
| E'en if we reach that upper realm where God is | F |
| And find the tales of heavenly glory true | J |
| I wonder if we shall not miss our bodies | K |
| And long at times for hours on earth we knew | J |
| - | |
| As now we sometimes pray to leave our prison | A |
| And soar beyond all physical demands | L |
| So may we not sigh when we have arisen | A |
| For just one old time touch of lips and hands | L |
| I know dear heart a thought like this seems daring | M |
| Concerning God's vast Government above | N |
| Yet even There I shrink from wholly sparing | M |
| One element from this our Three fold Love | N |
