Only A Smile Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHIH| No butterfly whose frugal fare | A |
| Is breath of heliotrope and clove | B |
| And other trifles light as air | A |
| Could live on less than doth my love | B |
| - | |
| That childlike smile that comes and goes | C |
| About your gracious lips and eyes | D |
| Hath all the sweetness of the rose | C |
| Which feeds the freckled butterflies | D |
| - | |
| I feed my love on smiles and yet | E |
| Sometimes I ask with tears of woe | F |
| How had it been if we had met | E |
| If you had met me long ago | F |
| - | |
| Before the fast defacing years | G |
| Had made all ill that once was well | H |
| Ah then your smiling breeds such tears | I |
| As Tantalus may weep in hell | H |
