Passion And Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEBF GHIEJAB| A maiden wept and as a comforter | A |
| Came one who cried I love thee and he seized | B |
| Her in his arms and kissed her with hot breath | C |
| That dried the tears upon her flaming cheeks | D |
| While evermore his boldly blazing eye | E |
| Burned into hers but she uncomforted | B |
| Shrank from his arms and only wept the more | F |
| - | |
| Then one came and gazed mutely in her face | G |
| With wide and wistful eyes but still aloof | H |
| He held himself as with a reverent fear | I |
| As one who knows some sacred presence nigh | E |
| And as she wept he mingled tear with tear | J |
| That cheered her soul like dew a dusty flower | A |
| Until she smiled approached and touched his hand | B |
