Modern Love Vi: It Chanced His Lips Did Meet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFGHIJH| It chanced his lips did meet her forehead cool | A |
| She had no blush but slanted down her eye | B |
| Shamed nature then confesses love can die | B |
| And most she punishes the tender fool | A |
| Who will believe what honours her the most | C |
| Dead is it dead She has a pulse and flow | D |
| Of tears the price of blood drops as I know | D |
| For whom the midnight sobs around Love's ghost | C |
| Since then I heard her and so will sob on | E |
| The love is here it has but changed its aim | F |
| O bitter barren woman what's the name | F |
| The name the name the new name thou hast won | G |
| Behold me striking the world's coward stroke | H |
| That will I not do though the sting is dire | I |
| Beneath the surface this while by the fire | J |
| They sat she laughing at a quiet joke | H |
