Their Sweet Sorrow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB BBCC D CC EEC FFGG| They meet to say farewell Their way | A |
| Of saying this is hard to say | A |

| Distressed and she unclasps it slowly | B |

| He lends his gaze evasively | B |
| Over the printed page that she | B |
| Recurs to with a new moon shoulder | C |
| Glimpsed from the lace mists that infold her | C |
| - | |
| The clock beneath its crystal cup | D |
| Discreetly clicks 'Quick Act Speak up ' | - |
| A tension circles both her slender | C |
| Wrists and her raised eyes flash in splendor | C |
| - | |
| Even as he feels his dazzled own | E |
| Then blindingly round either thrown | E |
| They feel a stress of arms that ever | C |
| Strain tremblingly and 'Never Never ' | - |
| - | |
| Is whispered brokenly with half | F |
| A sob like a belated laugh | F |
| While cloyingly their blurred kiss closes | G |
| Sweet as the dew's lip to the rose's | G |
