Terre Promise Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCA DEED FCCF| Even now the fragrant darkness of her hair | A |
| Had brushed my cheek and once in passing by | B |
| Her hand upon my hand lay tranquilly | C |
| What things unspoken trembled in the air | A |
| - | |
| Always I know how little severs me | D |
| From mine heart's country that is yet so far | E |
| And must I lean and long across a bar | E |
| That half a word would shatter utterly | D |
| - | |
| Ah might it be that just by touch of hand | F |
| Or speaking silence shall the barrier fall | C |
| And she shall pass with no vain words at all | C |
| But droop into mine arms and understand | F |
