Laura Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBAABCDCDDC| If Laura lady of the flower soft face | A |
| Should light upon these verses she may take | B |
| The tenderest line and through its pulses trace | A |
| What man can suffer for a woman's sake | B |
| For in the nights that burn the days that break | B |
| A thin pale figure stands in Passion's place | A |
| And peace comes not nor yet the perished grace | A |
| Of youth to keep old faiths and fires awake | B |
| Ah marvellous maid Life sobs and sighing saith | C |
| She left me fleeting like a fluttered dove | D |
| But I would have a moment of her breath | C |
| So I might taste the sweetest sense thereof | D |
| And catch from blossoming honeyed lips of love | D |
| Some faint some fair some dim delicious death | C |
