Seven Times Three. Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDB AEAEFFE AGAGHHG AI AIJJI| I leaned out of window I smelt the white clover | A |
| Dark dark was the garden I saw not the gate | B |
| Now if there be footsteps he comes my one lover | A |
| Hush nightingale hush O sweet nightingale wait | B |
| Till I listen and hear | C |
| If a step draweth near | D |
| For my love he is late | B |
| - | |
| The skies in the darkness stoop nearer and nearer | A |
| A cluster of stars hangs like fruit in the tree | E |
| The fall of the water comes sweeter comes clearer | A |
| To what art thou listening and what dost thou see | E |
| Let the star clusters glow | F |
| Let the sweet waters flow | F |
| And cross quickly to me | E |
| - | |
| You night moths that hover where honey brims over | A |
| From sycamore blossoms or settle or sleep | G |
| You glowworms shine out and the pathway discover | A |
| To him that comes darkling along the rough steep | G |
| Ah my sailor make haste | H |
| For the time runs to waste | H |
| And my love lieth deep | G |
| - | |
| Too deep for swift telling and yet my one lover | A |
| I've conned thee an answer it waits thee to night | I |
| - | |
| By the sycamore passed he and through the white clover | A |
| Then all the sweet speech I had fashioned took flight | I |
| But I'll love him more more | J |
| Than e'er wife loved before | J |
| Be the days dark or bright | I |
