Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDEDD FGFGG| If I had only loved your flesh | A |
| And careless damned your soul to Hell | B |
| I might have laughed and loved afresh | A |
| And loved as lightly and as well | B |
| And little more to tell | B |
| - | |
| But since to clasp your soul I strove | C |
| That mountebank that fugitive | D |
| Anrl poured the river of my love | E |
| Through meshes that like Danae's sieve | D |
| Drained all I had to give | D |
| - | |
| Now nightly by the tamarisks | F |
| I pace and watch the risen moon | G |
| Litter the sea with silver disks | F |
| And pray of night one only boon | G |
| Let my release be soon | G |
