She Shall Not Guess Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABACDECDEEven if I died no sound should tell it her | A |
Death babbles but the calm of her dear eyes | B |
In vain would ask no tell tale breath should stir | A |
The lips still treasuring a thought unwise | B |
How vain my life has been in its disguise | B |
Left unregarded her least pensioner | A |
Yielding to all unasking even with sighs | B |
The dole of hope not Heaven could quite confer | A |
To day behold me on this page her name | C |
Over my own inscribing with no prayer | D |
Nor daring even to kneel in my distress | E |
What I have written in this candle's flame | C |
Shrinks ere 'tis finished and the incensed air | D |
Bears but betrays it not She shall not guess | E |
