I Speak Not, I Trace Not, I Breathe Not Thy Name Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFFFGGFFHHII J| I speak not I trace not I breathe not thy name | A |
| There is grief in the sound there is guilt in the fame | A |
| But the tear that now burns on my cheek may impart | B |
| The deep thoughts that dwell in that silence of heart | B |
| Too brief for our passion too long for our peace | C |
| Were those hours can their joy or their bitterness cease | C |
| We repent we abjure we will break from our chain | D |
| We will part we will fly to unite it again | E |
| Oh thine be the gladness and mine be the guilt | F |
| Forgive me adored one forsake if thou wilt | F |
| But the heart which is thine shall expire undebased | F |
| And man shall not break it whatever thou may'st | F |
| And stern to the haughty but humble to thee | G |
| This soul in its bitterest blackness shall be | G |
| And our days seem as swift and our moments more sweet | F |
| With thee at my side than with worlds at our feet | F |
| One sigh of thy sorrow one look of thy love | H |
| Shall turn me or fix shall reward or reprove | H |
| And the heartless may wonder at all I resign | I |
| Thy lips shall reply not to them but to mine | I |
