The Sorrow Of Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE ABAB

The brawling of a sparrow in the eavesA
The brilliant moon and all the milky skyB
And all that famous harmony of leavesA
Had blotted out man's image and his cryB
-
A girl arose that had red mournful lipsC
And seemed the greatness of the world in tearsD
Doomed like Odysseus and the labouring shipsC
And proud as Priam murdered with his peersE
-
Arose and on the instant clamorous eavesA
A climbing moon upon an empty skyB
And all that lamentation of the leavesA
Could but compose man's image and his cryB

William Butler Yeats
