Modern Love Xlvii: We Saw The Swallows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGHHG| We saw the swallows gathering in the sky | A |
| And in the osier isle we heard them noise | B |
| We had not to look back on summer joys | B |
| Or forward to a summer of bright dye | A |
| But in the largeness of the evening earth | C |
| Our spirits grew as we went side by side | D |
| The hour became her husband and my bride | D |
| Love that had robbed us so thus blessed our dearth | C |
| The pilgrims of the year waxed very loud | E |
| In multitudinous chatterings as the flood | F |
| Full brown came from the West and like pale blood | F |
| Expanded to the upper crimson cloud | E |
| Love that had robbed us of immortal things | G |
| This little moment mercifully gave | H |
| Where I have seen across the twilight wave | H |
| The swan sail with her young beneath her wings | G |
