Modern Love Iv: All Other Joys Of Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGHHG| All other joys of life he strove to warm | A |
| And magnify and catch them to his lip | B |
| But they had suffered shipwreck with the ship | B |
| And gazed upon him sallow from the storm | A |
| Or if Delusion came 'twas but to show | C |
| The coming minute mock the one that went | D |
| Cold as a mountain in its star pitched tent | D |
| Stood high Philosophy less friend than foe | C |
| Whom self caged Passion from its prison bars | E |
| Is always watching with a wondering hate | F |
| Not till the fire is dying in the grate | F |
| Look we for any kinship with the stars | E |
| Oh wisdom never comes when it is gold | G |
| And the great price we pay for it full worth | H |
| We have it only when we are half earth | H |
| Little avails that coinage to the old | G |
