Hearts First Word. I. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJABAB| To sweeten a swift minute so | A |
| With such rare fragrance of sweet speech | B |
| And make the after hours go | A |
| In a blank yearning each on each | B |
| To drain the springs till they be dry | C |
| And then in anguish thirst for drink | D |
| So but to glimpse her robe thirst I | C |
| And my soul hungers and I sink | D |
| - | |
| There is no word that we have said | E |
| Whereby the lips and heart arc fire | F |
| No look the linked glances read | E |
| That held the springs of deep desire | F |
| And yet the sounds her glad lips gave | G |
| Are on my soul vibrating still | H |
| Her eyes that swept me as a wave | G |
| Shine my soul's worship to fulfil | H |
| - | |
| Her hair her eyes her throat and chin | I |
| Sweet hair sweet eyes sweet throat so sweet | J |
| So fair because the ways of sin | I |
| Have never known her perfect feet | J |
| By what far ways and marvellous | A |
| May I such lovely heaven reach | B |
| What dread dark seas and perilous | A |
| Lie 'twist love's silence and love's speech | B |
