Words Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG HH| Words breathing words full murmuring syllables | A |
| How you enrich the thoughts that dwell in you | B |
| With far brought perfume that no meaning tells | C |
| Yet stirs the mind to flower in thoughts anew | B |
| - | |
| Sometimes how lulling like the rain's soft veil | D |
| Then vivid as the pressure of a hand | E |
| Now filled with fair surmises like a sail | D |
| Before the blue coast of some foreign land | E |
| - | |
| O words you live and therefore you can die | F |
| Ill yoked imprisoned tamed in a dull task | G |
| So callous tongues may use you but not I | F |
| Who for your grace a wooing lover ask | G |
| - | |
| Dead things may kill and you being dead entomb | H |
| The frozen thought that once you clothed in bloom | H |
