Love's Bower. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABCCBDDEFEFGHHGDD| On the white bosom 'tween the breasts | A |
| Of Helen Love has made his bower | B |
| As in a sweet and secret tower | B |
| Where mid the world's decay he rests | A |
| A bridegroom in his dream's desire | B |
| With the imperial bride whose brow | C |
| Is great with beauty now | C |
| Whose eyes have the old fire | B |
| That in their passion's joy | D |
| Burnt to a cinder on the towers of Troy | D |
| All youths and virgins may go there | E |
| And thence their hearts as torches light | F |
| Fragrant and fresh as new born air | E |
| In the old world's serenest might | F |
| May learn from Love and his warm mate | G |
| The secret of the tender tune | H |
| Of that long honeymoon | H |
| That like the fire of Fate | G |
| Still in their passion's joy | D |
| Burns to a cinder on the towers of Troy | D |
