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