The Lover Speaks To The Hearers Of His Songs In Coming Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDE| O women kneeling by your altar rails long hence | A |
| When songs I wove for my beloved hide the prayer | B |
| And smoke from this dead heart drifts through the violet air | B |
| And covers away the smoke of myrrh and frankincense | A |
| Bend down and pray for all that sin I wove in song | C |
| Till the Attorney for Lost Souls cry her sweet cry | D |
| And call to my beloved and me 'No longer fly | D |
| Amid the hovering piteous penitential throng ' | E |
William Butler Yeats
