Her Father Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD DDDD DEDE DFDG H| I met her as we had privily planned | A |
| Where passing feet beat busily | B |
| She whispered Father is at hand | A |
| He wished to walk with me | B |
| - | |
| His presence as he joined us there | C |
| Banished our words of warmth away | D |
| We felt with cloudings of despair | C |
| What Love must lose that day | D |
| - | |
| Her crimson lips remained unkissed | D |
| Our fingers kept no tender hold | D |
| His lack of feeling made the tryst | D |
| Embarrassed stiff and cold | D |
| - | |
| A cynic ghost then rose and said | D |
| But is his love for her so small | E |
| That nigh to yours it may be read | D |
| As of no worth at all | E |
| - | |
| You love her for her pink and white | D |
| But what when their fresh splendours close | F |
| His love will last her in despite | D |
| Of Time and wrack and foes | G |
