My Voice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DAEA CFCFWithin this restless hurried modern world | A |
We took our hearts' full pleasure You and I | B |
And now the white sails of our ship are furled | A |
And spent the lading of our argosy | C |
- | |
Wherefore my cheeks before their time are wan | D |
For very weeping is my gladness fled | A |
Sorrow has paled my young mouth's vermilion | E |
And Ruin draws the curtains of my bed | A |
- | |
But all this crowded life has been to thee | C |
No more than lyre or lute or subtle spell | F |
Of viols or the music of the sea | C |
That sleeps a mimic echo in the shell | F |
