The Cactus Thicket Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG BB| The Atlas summits were veiled in purple gloom | A |
| But a golden moon above rose clear and free | B |
| The cactus thicket was ruddy with scarlet bloom | A |
| Where through the silent shadow he came to me | B |
| - | |
| All my sixteen summers were but for this | C |
| That He should pass and pausing find me fair | D |
| You Stars bear golden witness My lips were his | E |
| I would not live till others have fastened there | D |
| - | |
| Oh take me Death ere ever the charm shall fade | F |
| Ah close these eyes ere ever the dream grow dim | G |
| I welcome thee with rapture and unafraid | F |
| Even as yesternight I welcomed Him | G |
| - | |
| - | |
| Not now Impatient one it well may be | B |
| That ten moons hence I shall return for thee | B |
