Michael Robartes Remembers Forgotten Beauty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGEAAHHAAII JJAAWhen 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 wove 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 gray clouds of incense rose | A |
That only the gods' 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 deep under deep | J |
Throne over throne where in half sleep | J |
Their swords upon their iron knees | A |
Brood her high lonely mysteries | A |
William Butler Yeats
