He Remembers Forgotten Beauty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGEAAHHAAII JJAA| When my arms wrap you round I press | A |
| My heart upon the loveliness | A |
| That has long faded from the world | B |
| The jewelled crowns that kings have hurled | B |
| In shadowy pools when armies fled | C |
| The love tales wrought with silken thread | C |
| By dreaming ladies upon cloth | D |
| That has made fat the murderous moth | D |
| The roses that of old time were | E |
| Woven by ladies in their hair | F |
| The dew cold lilies ladies bore | G |
| Through many a sacred corridor | E |
| Where such grey clouds of incense rose | A |
| That only God's eyes did not close | A |
| For that pale breast and lingering hand | H |
| Come from a more dream heavy land | H |
| A more dream heavy hour than this | A |
| And when you sigh from kiss to kiss | A |
| I hear white Beauty sighing too | I |
| For hours when all must fade like dew | I |
| But flame on flame and deep on deep | J |
| Throne over throne where in half sleep | J |
| Their swords upon their iron knees | A |
| Brood her high lonely mysteries | A |
