The Return Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCACDBEDE| I turned the key and opened wide the door | A |
| To enter my deserted room again | B |
| Where thro' the long hot months the dust had lain | C |
| Was it not lonely when across the floor | A |
| No step was heard no sudden song that bore | A |
| My whole heart upward with a joyous pain | C |
| Were not the pictures and the volumes fain | C |
| To have me with them always as before | A |
| But Giorgione's Venus did not deign | C |
| To lift her lids nor did the subtle smile | D |
| Of Mona Lisa deepen Madeleine | B |
| Still wept against the glory of her hair | E |
| Nor did the lovers part their lips the while | D |
| But kissed unheeding that I watched them there | E |
