Modern Love Xxxvii: Along The Garden Terrace Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFGEHIIHAlong the garden terrace under which | A |
A purple valley lighted at its edge | B |
By smoky torch flame on the long cloud ledge | B |
Whereunder dropped the chariot glimmers rich | A |
A quiet company we pace and wait | C |
The dinner bell in prae digestive calm | D |
So sweet up violet banks the Southern balm | D |
Breathes round we care not if the bell be late | C |
Though here and there grey seniors question Time | E |
In irritable coughings With slow foot | F |
The low rosed moon the face of Music mute | G |
Begins among her silent bars to climb | E |
As in and out in silvery dusk we thread | H |
I hear the laugh of Madam and discern | I |
My Lady's heel before me at each turn | I |
Our tragedy is it alive or dead | H |
