Assurance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCDEFEFDA| Last night I slept and when I woke her kiss | A |
| Still floated on my lips For we had strayed | B |
| Together in my dream through some dim glade | B |
| Where the shy moonbeams scarce dared light our bliss | A |
| The air was dank with dew between the trees | C |
| The hidden glow worms kindled and were spent | D |
| Cheek pressed to cheek the cool the hot night breeze | C |
| Mingled ouir hair our breath and came and went | D |
| As sporting with our passion Low and deep | E |
| Spake in mine ear her voice quot And didst thou dream | F |
| This could be buried This could be sleep | E |
| And love be thrall to death Nay whatso seem | F |
| Have faith dear heart this is the thing that is quot | D |
| Thereon I woke and on my lips her kiss | A |
