Dead Men's Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDEE FGFGHHIJ KFEKFLLMMThere was a damned successful Poet | A |
There was a Woman like the Sun | B |
And they were dead They did not know it | C |
They did not know their time was done | B |
They did not know his hymns | D |
Were silence and her limbs | D |
That had served Love so well | E |
Dust and a filthy smell | E |
- | |
And so one day as ever of old | F |
Hands out they hurried knee to knee | G |
On fire to cling and kiss and hold | F |
And in the other's eyes to see | G |
Each his own tiny face | H |
And in that long embrace | H |
Feel lip and breast grow warm | I |
To breast and lip and arm | J |
- | |
So knee to knee they sped again | K |
And laugh to laugh they ran I'm told | F |
Across the streets of Hell | E |
And then | K |
They suddenly felt the wind blow cold | F |
And knew so closely pressed | L |
Chill air on lip and breast | L |
And with a sick surprise | M |
The emptiness of eyes | M |
