Dearth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDED| I hold your trembling hand to night and yet | A |
| I may not know what wealth of bliss is mine | B |
| My heart is such a curious design | B |
| Of trust and jealousy Your eyes are wet | A |
| So must I think they jewel some regret | A |
| And lo the loving arms that round me twine | B |
| Cling only as the tendrils of a vine | B |
| Whose fruit has long been gathered I forget | A |
| While crimson clusters of your kisses press | C |
| Their wine out on my lips my royal fair | D |
| Of rapture since blind fancy needs must guess | C |
| They once poured out their sweetness otherwhere | D |
| With fuller flavoring of happiness | E |
| Than e'en your broken sobs may now declare | D |
