Modern Love Ii: It Ended, And The Morrow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGHIJ| It ended and the morrow brought the task | A |
| Her eyes were guilty gates that let him in | B |
| By shutting all too zealous for their sin | B |
| Each sucked a secret and each wore a mask | A |
| But oh the bitter taste her beauty had | C |
| He sickened as at breath of poison flowers | D |
| A languid humour stole among the hours | D |
| And if their smiles encountered he went mad | C |
| And raged deep inward till the light was brown | E |
| Before his vision and the world forgot | F |
| Looked wicked as some old dull murder spot | F |
| A star with lurid beams she seemed to crown | E |
| The pit of infamy and then again | G |
| He fainted on his vengefulness and strove | H |
| To ape the magnanimity of love | I |
| And smote himself a shuddering heap of pain | J |
