To A Lady (offended By A Book Of The Writer's) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ACCA DEFDDG| Now that my page upcloses doomed maybe | A |
| Never to press thy cosy cushions more | B |
| Or wake thy ready Yeas as heretofore | B |
| Or stir thy gentle vows of faith in me | A |
| - | |
| Knowing thy natural receptivity | A |
| I figure that as flambeaux banish eve | C |
| My sombre image warped by insidious heave | C |
| Of those less forthright must lose place in thee | A |
| - | |
| So be it I have borne such Let thy dreams | D |
| Of me and mine diminish day by day | E |
| And yield their space to shine of smugger things | F |
| Till I shape to thee but in fitful gleams | D |
| And then in far and feeble visitings | D |
| And then surcease Truth will be truth alway | G |
