The Eye Of Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIHI JKJK| I know her story telling eye | A |
| Has more expression than her tongue | B |
| And from that heart extorted sigh | A |
| At once the peal of love is rung | B |
| - | |
| When that soft eye lets fall a tear | C |
| Of doating fondness as we part | D |
| The stream is from a cause sincere | E |
| And issues from a melting heart | D |
| - | |
| What shall her fluttering pulse restrain | F |
| The life watch beating from her soul | G |
| When all the power of hate is slain | F |
| And love permits it no control | G |
| - | |
| When said her tongue I wish thee well | H |
| Her eye declared it must be true | I |
| And every sentence seem'd to tell | H |
| The tale of sorrow told by few | I |
| - | |
| When low she bow'd and wheel'd aside | J |
| I saw her blushing temples fade | K |
| Her smiles were sunk in sorrow's tide | J |
| But love was in her eye betray'd | K |
