Modern Love Xliii: Mark Where The Pressing Wind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFGHFFH| Mark where the pressing wind shoots javelin like | A |
| Its skeleton shadow on the broad backed wave | B |
| Here is a fitting spot to dig Love's grave | B |
| Here where the ponderous breakers plunge and strike | A |
| And dart their hissing tongues high up the sand | C |
| In hearing of the ocean and in sight | D |
| Of those ribbed wind streaks running into white | D |
| If I the death of Love had deeply planned | C |
| I never could have made it half so sure | E |
| As by the unblest kisses which upbraid | F |
| The full waked sense or failing that degrade | F |
| 'Tis morning but no morning can restore | G |
| What we have forfeited I see no sin | H |
| The wrong is mixed In tragic life God wot | F |
| No villain need be Passions spin the plot | F |
| We are betrayed by what is false within | H |
