Three In A Shade. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGAGA| Here we sit and blind Desire | A |
| Plays his spinet in the shade | B |
| How is it our fancies tire | A |
| Why is it our hearts afraid | B |
| Cower as with trembling wing | C |
| 'Neath the grey hawk Time that flies | D |
| Where the phantom colours cling | C |
| To the ever fading skies | D |
| Is it with all things but thus | E |
| In our hearts when we were born | F |
| Young Desire laughed with us | E |
| So so old now and forlorn | F |
| As he sits an eerie elf | G |
| In the wizard airs that stir | A |
| With a man so like himself | G |
| And the ghost of what you were | A |
