A Une Femme [english] Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC CBBA DEF EFF| To you these lines for the consoling grace | A |
| Of your great eyes wherein a soft dream shines | B |
| For your pure soul all kind to you these lines | B |
| From the black deeps of mine unmatched distress | C |
| - | |
| 'Tis that the hideous dream that doth oppress | C |
| My soul alas its sad prey ne'er resigns | B |
| But like a pack of wolves down mad inclines | B |
| Goes gathering heat upon my reddened trace | A |
| - | |
| I suffer oh I suffer cruelly | D |
| So that the first man's cry at Eden lost | E |
| Was but an eclogue surely to my cry | F |
| - | |
| And that the sorrows Dear that may have crossed | E |
| Your life are but as swallows light that fly | F |
| Dear in a golden warm September sky | F |
