Attraction Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDD CCD| He who wills life wills its condition sweet | A |
| Having made love its mother joy its quest | B |
| That its perpetual sequence might not rest | B |
| On reason's dictum cold and too discreet | A |
| - | |
| For reason moves with cautious careful feet | A |
| Debating whether life or death were best | B |
| And why pale pain not ruddy mirth is guest | B |
| In many a heart which life hath set to beat | A |
| - | |
| But I will cast my fate with love and trust | C |
| Her honeyed heart that guides the pollened bee | D |
| And sets the happy wing seeds fluttering free | D |
| - | |
| And I will bless the law which saith Thou must | C |
| And wet with sea or shod with weary dust | C |
| Will follow back and back and back to thee | D |
