Anacreon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACA CDDAE FFAA| We bought a volume of Anacreon | A |
| Defaced mishandled little to admire | B |
| And yet its rusty clasps kept guard upon | A |
| The sweetest songs the songs of young desire | C |
| Like that great song once sung by Solomon | A |
| - | |
| My sweetheart's cheeks were peonies on fire | C |
| We saw by the bright message of his eyes | D |
| That Eros served us in bookseller's guise | D |
| I keep the volume still but She has gone | A |
| Ah for the poetry in Paradise | E |
| - | |
| There's Honey still and Roses on the earth | F |
| And lips to kiss and jugs to drain with mirth | F |
| And lovers walk in pairs but She has gone | A |
| Anacreon Anacreon | A |
