The Jungle Flower Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BCBC DCDC EE| Ah the cool silence of the shaded hours | A |
| The scent and colour of the jungle flowers | A |
| - | |
| Thou art one of the jungle flowers strange and fierce and fair | B |
| Palest amber perfect lines and scented with champa flower | C |
| Lie back and frame thy face in the gloom of thy loosened hair | B |
| Sweet thou art and loved ay loved for an hour | C |
| - | |
| But thought flies far ah far to another breast | D |
| Whose whiteness breaks to the rose of a twin pink flower | C |
| Where wind the azure veins that my lips caressed | D |
| When Fate was gentle to me for a too brief hour | C |
| - | |
| There is my spirit's home and my soul's abode | E |
| The rest are only inns on the traveller's road | E |
