The Dark Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GH| When your head leans back slowly and gazing eyes | A |
| Muse earnest upon mine and starry swim | B |
| With depths unfathomed that still well and rise | A |
| And the words fail and sight with love grows dim | B |
| - | |
| Whence comes that almost sadness almost wound | C |
| Of joy whose thoughts sink like the wearied flight | D |
| Of birds on seas lost in love's deeps profound | C |
| Inscrutable as odours blown through night | D |
| - | |
| We know not and we know not whence love rose | E |
| Pouring its beauty over us as the moon | F |
| On this dim garden rises and none knows | E |
| Where she was wandering those blind nights of June | F |
| - | |
| Hush hush the mystery of life is here | G |
| Our sacred joy kisses our sacred fear | H |
