Chosen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCCDDEFGEHHHIJ| The lot of love is chosen I learnt that much | A |
| Struggling for an image on the track | B |
| Of the whirling Zodiac | B |
| Scarce did he my body touch | A |
| Scarce sank he from the west | C |
| Or found a subtetranean rest | C |
| On the maternal midnight of my breast | C |
| Before I had marked him on his northern way | D |
| And seemed to stand although in bed I lay | D |
| I struggled with the horror of daybreak | E |
| I chose it for my lot If questioned on | F |
| My utmost pleasure with a man | G |
| By some new married bride I take | E |
| That stillness for a theme | H |
| Where his heart my heart did seem | H |
| And both adrift on the miraculous stream | H |
| Where wrote a learned astrologer | I |
| The Zodiac is changed into a sphere | J |
