Snow And Fire Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD EFEFEF| Deep hearted roses of the purple dusk | A |
| And lilies of the morn | B |
| And cactus holding up a slender tusk | A |
| Of fragrance on a thorn | B |
| All heavy flowers sultry with their musk | A |
| Her presence puts to scorn | B |
| - | |
| For she is like the pale pale snowdropp there | C |
| Scentless and chaste of heart | D |
| The moonflower making spiritual the air | C |
| Like some pure work of art | D |
| Divine and holy exquisitely fair | C |
| And virtue's counterpart | D |
| - | |
| Yet when her eyes gaze into mine and when | E |
| Her lips to mine are pressed | F |
| Why are my veins all fire then and then | E |
| Why should her soul suggest | F |
| Voluptuous perfumes maddening unto men | E |
| And prurient with unrest | F |
