Restraint Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDEFDEG| Dear heart and love what happiness to sit | A |
| And watch the firelight's varying shade and shine | B |
| On thy young face and through those eyes of thine | B |
| As through glad windows mark fair fancies flit | A |
| In sumptuous chambers of thy soul's chaste wit | A |
| Like graceful women then to take in mine | B |
| Thy hand whose pressure brims my heart's divine | B |
| Hushed rapture as with music exquisite | C |
| When I remember how thy look and touch | D |
| Sway like the moon my blood with ecstasy | E |
| I dare not think to what fierce heaven might lead | F |
| Thy soft embrace or in thy kiss how much | D |
| Sweet hell beyond all help of me might be | E |
| Where I were lost where I were lost indeed | G |
