Forgiven Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEEI dreamed so dear a dream of you last night | A |
I thought you came I was so glad so gay | B |
I whispered 'Those were foolish words to say | B |
I meant them not I cannot bear the sight | A |
Of our dear face I cannot meet the light | A |
Of your dear eyes upon me Sit I pray | B |
Sit here beside me turn your look away | B |
And lay your cheek on mine ' Till morning bright | A |
We sat so and we did not speak I knew | C |
All was forgiven so nestled there | D |
With your arms round Swift the sweet hours flew | C |
At last I waked and sought you everywhere | D |
How long dear think you that my glad cheek will | E |
Burn as it burns with our cheek's pressure still | E |
