When Helen Lived Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFEGHGHWe have cried in our despair | A |
That men desert | B |
For some trivial affair | A |
Or noisy insolent sport | C |
Beauty that we have won | D |
From bitterest hours | E |
Yet we had we walked within | F |
Those topless towers | E |
Where Helen waked with her boy | G |
Had given but as the rest | H |
Of the men and women of Troy | G |
A word and a jest | H |
William Butler Yeats
