And Love Has Changed To Kindliness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDDEAEAEAFFAGGA HAHIHIJKLMAANNAA| When love has changed to kindliness | A |
| Oh love our hungry lips that press | A |
| So tight that Time's an old god's dream | B |
| Nodding in heaven and whisper stuff | C |
| Seven million years were not enough | C |
| To think on after make it seem | B |
| Less than the breath of children playing | D |
| A blasphemy scarce worth the saying | D |
| A sorry jest When love has grown | E |
| To kindliness to kindliness | A |
| And yet the best that either's known | E |
| Will change and wither and be less | A |
| At last than comfort or its own | E |
| Remembrance And when some caress | A |
| Tendered in habit once a flame | F |
| All heaven sang out to wakes the shame | F |
| Unworded in the steady eyes | A |
| We'll have that day what shall we do | G |
| Being so noble kill the two | G |
| Who've reached their second best Being wise | A |
| Break cleanly off and get away | H |
| Follow down other windier skies | A |
| New lures alone Or shall we stay | H |
| Since this is all we've known content | I |
| In the lean twilight of such day | H |
| And not remember not lament | I |
| That time when all is over and | J |
| Hand never flinches brushing hand | K |
| And blood lies quiet for all you're near | L |
| And it's but spoken words we hear | M |
| Where trumpets sang when the mere skies | A |
| Are stranger and nobler than your eyes | A |
| And flesh is flesh was flame before | N |
| And infinite hungers leap no more | N |
| In the chance swaying of your dress | A |
| And love has changed to kindliness | A |
