Choriambics'i Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDEFFGHAHIIJJKK| Ah not now when desire burns and the wind calls and the suns of spring | A |
| Light foot dance in the woods whisper of life woo me to wayfaring | A |
| Ah not now should you come now when the road beckons | B |
| and good friends call | C |
| Where are songs to be sung fights to be fought yea and the best of all | C |
| Love on myriad lips fairer than yours kisses you could not give | D |
| Dearest why should I mourn whimper and whine I that have yet to live | E |
| Sorrow will I forget tears for the best love on the lips of you | F |
| Now when dawn in the blood wakes and the sun laughs up the eastern blue | F |
| I'll forget and be glad | G |
| Only at length dear when the great day ends | H |
| When love dies with the last light and the last song has been sung | A |
| and friends | H |
| All are perished and gloom strides on the heaven then as alone I lie | I |
| 'Mid Death's gathering winds frightened and dumb sick for the past may I | I |
| Feel you suddenly there cool at my brow then may I hear the peace | J |
| Of your voice at the last whispering love calling ere all can cease | J |
| In the silence of death then may I see dimly and know a space | K |
| Bending over me last light in the dark once as of old your face | K |
