The Tears Of Harlequin Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCBD EEACAD FFACAD AABCBD| To you he gave his laughter and his jest | A |
| His words that of all words were merriest | A |
| His glad mad moments when the lights flared high | B |
| And his wild song outshrilled the plaudits' din | C |
| For you that memory but happier I | B |
| I who have known the tears of Harlequin | D |
| - | |
| Not mine those moments when the roses lay | E |
| Like red spilled wine on his triumphant way | E |
| And shouts acclaimed him through the music's beat | A |
| Above the voice of flute and violin | C |
| But I have known his hour of sore defeat | A |
| I I have known the tears of Harlequin | D |
| - | |
| Light kisses and light words they were not mine | F |
| Poor perquisites of many a Columbine | F |
| Bought with his laughter flattered by his jest | A |
| But when despair broke through the painted grin | C |
| His tortured face has fallen on my breast | A |
| I I have known the tears of Harlequin | D |
| - | |
| You weep for him who look upon him dead | A |
| That joy and jest and merriment are fled | A |
| You weep for him what time my eyes are dry | B |
| Knowing what peace a weary soul may win | C |
| Stifled by too much masking even I | B |
| I who have known the tears of Harlequin | D |
