Thoughts: Mahomed Akram Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAAA CDCDEE FGFGHH IIAA| If some day this body of mine were burned | A |
| It found no favour alas with you | B |
| And the ashes scattered abroad unurned | A |
| Would Love die also would Thought die too | A |
| But who can answer or who can trust | A |
| No dreams would harry the windblown dust | A |
| - | |
| Were I laid away in the furrows deep | C |
| Secure from jackal and passing plough | D |
| Would your eyes not follow me still through sleep | C |
| Torment me then as they torture now | D |
| Would you ever have loved me Golden Eyes | E |
| Had I done aught better or otherwise | E |
| - | |
| Was I overspeechful or did you yearn | F |
| When I sat silent for songs or speech | G |
| Ah Beloved I had been so apt to learn | F |
| So apt had you only cared to teach | G |
| But time for silence and song is done | H |
| You wanted nothing my Golden Sun | H |
| - | |
| What should you want of a waning star | I |
| That drifts in its lonely orbit far | I |
| Away from your soft effulgent light | A |
| In outer planes of Eternal night | A |
