Satiemus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACCDEFECGCDHIJHAA| What if I know thy speeches word by word | A |
| And if thou knew'st I knew them wouldst thou speak | B |
| What if I know thy speeches word by word | A |
| And all the time thou sayest them o'er I said | C |
| 'Lo one there was who bent her fair bright head | C |
| Sighing as thou dost through the golden speech ' | D |
| Or as our laughters mingle each with each | E |
| As crushed lips take their respite fitfully | F |
| What if my thoughts were turned in their mid reach | E |
| Whispering among them 'The fair dead | C |
| Must know such moments thinking on the grass | G |
| On how white dogwoods murmured overhead | C |
| In the bright glad days ' | D |
| How if the low dear sound within thy throat | H |
| Hath as faint lute strings in its dim accord | I |
| Dim tales that blind me running one by one | J |
| With times told over as we tell by rote | H |
| What if I know thy laughter word by word | A |
| Nor find aught novel in thy merriment | A |
