Modern Love V: A Message From Her Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCCEECFCCF| A message from her set his brain aflame | A |
| A world of household matters filled her mind | B |
| Wherein he saw hypocrisy designed | B |
| She treated him as something that is tame | A |
| And but at other provocation bites | C |
| Familiar was her shoulder in the glass | D |
| Through that dark rain yet it may come to pass | D |
| That a changed eye finds such familiar sights | C |
| More keenly tempting than new loveliness | C |
| The 'What has been' a moment seemed his own | E |
| The splendours mysteries dearer because known | E |
| Nor less divine Love's inmost sacredness | C |
| Called to him 'Come ' In his restraining start | F |
| Eyes nurtured to be looked at scarce could see | C |
| A wave of the great waves of Destiny | C |
| Convulsed at a checked impulse of the heart | F |
