Modern Love L: Thus Piteously Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGHHG| Thus piteously Love closed what he begat | A |
| The union of this ever diverse pair | B |
| These two were rapid falcons in a snare | B |
| Condemned to do the flitting of the bat | A |
| Lovers beneath the singing sky of May | C |
| They wandered once clear as the dew on flowers | D |
| But they fed not on the advancing hours | D |
| Their hearts held cravings for the buried day | C |
| Then each applied to each that fatal knife | E |
| Deep questioning which probes to endless dole | F |
| Ah what a dusty answer gets the soul | F |
| When hot for certainties in this our life | E |
| In tragic hints here see what evermore | G |
| Moves dark as yonder midnight ocean's force | H |
| Thundering like ramping hosts of warrior horse | H |
| To throw that faint thin line upon the shore | G |
