What Happens? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GG| When thy hand touches mine through all the mesh | A |
| Of intricate and interlaced veins | B |
| Shoot swift delights that border on keen pains | B |
| Flesh thrills to thrilling flesh | A |
| - | |
| When in thine eager eyes I look to find | C |
| A comrade to my thought thy ready brain | D |
| Delves down and makes its inmost meaning plain | D |
| Mind answers unto mind | C |
| - | |
| When hands and eyes are hid by seas that roll | E |
| Wide wastes between us still so near thou art | F |
| I count the very pulses of thy heart | F |
| Soul speaketh unto soul | E |
| - | |
| So every law or human or divine | G |
| In heart and brain and spirit makes thee mine | G |
