The Afternoon Is Lonely For Your Face Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACC DEEDFF GHHGII| The afternoon is lonely for your face | A |
| The pampered morning mocks the day's decline | B |
| I was so rich at noon the sun was mine | B |
| Mine the sad sea that in that rocky place | A |
| Girded us round with blue betrothal ring | C |
| Because your heart was mine your heart that precious thing | C |
| - | |
| The night will be a desert till the dawn | D |
| Unless you take some ferry boat of dreams | E |
| And glide to me a glory of silver beams | E |
| Under my eyelids like sad curtains drawn | D |
| So by good hap my heart can find its way | F |
| Where all your sweetness lies in fragrant disarray | F |
| - | |
| Ah but with morn the world begins anew | G |
| Again the sea shall sing up to your feet | H |
| And earth and all the heavens call you sweet | H |
| You all alone with me I all alone with you | G |
| And all the business of the laurelled hours | I |
| Shyly to gaze on that betrothal ring of ours | I |
