A Kiss Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEED FFFGHHHI| By a wall the stranger now calls his | A |
| Was born of old a particular kiss | B |
| Without forethought in its genesis | C |
| Which in a trice took wing on the air | D |
| And where that spot is nothing shows | E |
| There ivy calmly grows | E |
| And no one knows | E |
| What a birth was there | D |
| - | |
| That kiss is gone where none can tell | F |
| Not even those who felt its spell | F |
| It cannot have died that know we well | F |
| Somewhere it pursues its flight | G |
| One of a long procession of sounds | H |
| Travelling aethereal rounds | H |
| Far from earth's bounds | H |
| In the infinite | I |
