The Love That Speaks In Word And Kiss Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII| The Love that speaks in word and kiss | A |
| That dyes the cheek and fires the eye | B |
| Through surface signs of shallow bliss | A |
| That quickly born may quickly die | B |
| Sweet sweet are these to man and woman | C |
| Who thinks them poor is less than human | C |
| - | |
| But I do know a quavering tone | D |
| And I do know lack lustre eyes | E |
| Behind the which dumb and alone | D |
| A stronger Love his labour plies | E |
| He cannot sing or dance or toy | F |
| He works and sighs for other's joy | F |
| - | |
| In gloom he tends the growth of food | G |
| While others joy in sun and flowers | H |
| None knows the passion of his mood | G |
| Save they who know what bitter hours | H |
| Are his whose heart alive to beauty | I |
| Yet dies to it and lives for duty | I |
