Golden Silence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB DBDB DBDB| I told her I loved her and begged but a word | A |
| One dear little word that would be | B |
| For me by all odds the most sweet ever heard | A |
| But never a word said she | B |
| - | |
| I raged at her then and I said she was cold | C |
| I swore she was nothing to me | B |
| I prayed her the cause of her silence unfold | C |
| But never a word said she | B |
| - | |
| I covered with kisses her delicate hand | D |
| But she only glanced down where the sea | B |
| Low murmured in ripples of love on the sand | D |
| And never a word said she | B |
| - | |
| I cast her hand from me with rage unsuppressed | D |
| And she turned her blue eyes up to me | B |
| And smiled as she laid her fair head on my breast | D |
| What need of a word asked she | B |
