Rhyme Scheme: ABACBC DDEFFGG EEHGGHThe touches of her hands are like the fall | A |
Of velvet snowflakes like the touch of down | B |
The peach just brushes 'gainst the garden wall | A |
The flossy fondlings of the thistle wisp | C |
Caught in the crinkle of a leaf of brown | B |
The blighting frost hath turned from green to crisp | C |
- | |
Soft as the falling of the dusk at night | D |
The touches of her hands and the delight | D |
The touches of her hands | E |
The touches of her hands are like the dew | F |
That falls so softly down no one e'er knew | F |
The touch thereof save lovers like to one | G |
Astray in lights where ranged Endymion | G |
- | |
O rarely soft the touches of her hands | E |
As drowsy zephyrs in enchanted lands | E |
Or pulse of dying fay or fairy sighs | H |
Or in between the midnight and the dawn | G |
When long unrest and tears and fears are gone | G |
Sleep smoothing down the lids of weary eyes | H |
