Her Dilemma Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GBGB| THE two were silent in a sunless church | A |
| Whose mildewed walls uneven paving stones | B |
| And wasted carvings passed antique research | A |
| And nothing broke the clock's dull monotones | B |
| - | |
| Leaning against a wormy poppy head | C |
| So wan and worn that he could scarcely stand | D |
| For he was soon to die he softly said | C |
| Tell me you love me holding hard her hand | D |
| - | |
| She would have given a world to breathe yes truly | E |
| So much his life seemed hanging on her mind | F |
| And hence she lied her heart persuaded throughly | E |
| 'Twas worth her soul to be a moment kind | F |
| - | |
| But the sad need thereof his nearing death | G |
| So mocked humanity that she shamed to prize | B |
| A world conditioned thus or care for breath | G |
| Where Nature such dilemmas could devise | B |
