Song From An Evening's Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCD AEAF GBG| After the pangs of a desperate lover | A |
| When day and night I have sighed all in vain | B |
| Ah what a pleasure it is to discover | A |
| In her eyes pity who causes my pain | B |
| - | |
| When with unkindness our love at a stand is | C |
| And both have punished ourselves with the pain | B |
| Ah what a pleasure the touch of her hand is | C |
| Ah what a pleasure to touch it again | D |
| - | |
| When the denial comes fainter and fainter | A |
| And her eyes give what her tongue does deny | E |
| Ah what a trembling I feel when I venture | A |
| Ah what a trembling does usher my joy | F |
| - | |
| When with a sigh she accords me the blessing | G |
| And her eyes twinkle 'twixt pleasure and pain | B |
| Ah what a joy 'tis beyond all expressing | G |
| Ah what a joy to hear 'Shall we again ' | - |
John Dryden
