Modern Love Xxi: We Three Are Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGHHG| We three are on the cedar shadowed lawn | A |
| My friend being third He who at love once laughed | B |
| Is in the weak rib by a fatal shaft | B |
| Struck through and tells his passion's bashful dawn | A |
| And radiant culmination glorious crown | C |
| When 'this' she said went 'thus' most wondrous she | D |
| Our eyes grow white encountering that we are three | D |
| Forgetful then together we look down | C |
| But he demands our blessing is convinced | E |
| That words of wedded lovers must bring good | F |
| We question if we dare or if we should | F |
| And pat him with light laugh We have not winced | E |
| Next she has fallen Fainting points the sign | G |
| To happy things in wedlock When she wakes | H |
| She looks the star that thro' the cedar shakes | H |
| Her lost moist hand clings mortally to mine | G |
