The Sorrow Of Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE ABAB| The brawling of a sparrow in the eaves | A |
| The brilliant moon and all the milky sky | B |
| And all that famous harmony of leaves | A |
| Had blotted out man's image and his cry | B |
| - | |
| A girl arose that had red mournful lips | C |
| And seemed the greatness of the world in tears | D |
| Doomed like Odysseus and the labouring ships | C |
| And proud as Priam murdered with his peers | E |
| - | |
| Arose and on the instant clamorous eaves | A |
| A climbing moon upon an empty sky | B |
| And all that lamentation of the leaves | A |
| Could but compose man's image and his cry | B |
