Spleen [english] Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AB AB CD CD EF EF

The roses were so red so redA
The ivies altogether blackB
-
If you but merely turn your headA
Beloved all my despairs come backB
-
The sky was over sweet and blueC
Too melting green the sea did showD
-
I always fear if you but knewC
From your dear hand some killing blowD
-
Weary am I of holly treeE
And shining box and waving grassF
-
Upon the tame unending leaE
And all and all but you alasF

Paul Verlaine
