Trespassers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD BBEEFFEE| When Love and I drew softly nigh | A |
| And gazed in modest Chloe's eye | A |
| We saw reflected there in part | B |
| The lovely mansion of her heart | B |
| A sight so fair that quite bereft | C |
| Of sense and shame we had but left | C |
| One wish that we by foul or fair | D |
| Might enter in and tarry there | D |
| - | |
| But when with vagabondish art | B |
| We nearer crept to Chloe's heart | B |
| That we might steal therein we found | E |
| Her heart with barbed wires enwound | E |
| And crawling through those cruel rings | F |
| My garments caught Love caught his wings | F |
| And though we now would fain depart | E |
| We twain are snared outside her heart | E |
