To The Unattainable Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BABA CDCD| Oh that my blood were water thou athirst | A |
| And thou and I in some far Desert land | A |
| How would I shed it gladly if but first | A |
| It touched thy lips before it reached the sand | A |
| - | |
| Once Ah the Gods were good to me I threw | B |
| Myself upon a poison snake that crept | A |
| Where my Beloved a lesser love we knew | B |
| Than this which now consumes me wholly slept | A |
| - | |
| But thou Alas what can I do for thee | C |
| By Fate and thine own beauty set above | D |
| The need of all or any aid from me | C |
| Too high for service as too far for love | D |
