Love Lies Bleeding Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABCDDCDDDEDEECDDC DDEE| You call it Love lies bleeding so you may | A |
| Though the red Flower not prostrate only droops | B |
| As we have seen it here from day to day | A |
| From month to month life passing not away | A |
| A flower how rich in sadness Even thus stoops | B |
| Sentient by Grecian sculpture's marvelous power | C |
| Thus leans with hanging brow and body bent | D |
| Earthward in uncomplaining languishment | D |
| The dying Gladiator So sad Flower | C |
| 'Tis Fancy guides me willing to be led | D |
| Though by a slender thread | D |
| So drooped Adonis bathed in sanguine dew | D |
| Of his death wound when he from innocent air | E |
| The gentlest breath of resignation drew | D |
| While Venus in a passion of despair | E |
| Rent weeping over him her golden hair | E |
| Spangled with drops of that celestial shower | C |
| She suffered as Immortals sometimes do | D |
| But pangs more lasting far 'that' Lover knew | D |
| Who first weighed down by scorn in some lone bower | C |
| Did press this semblance of unpitied smart | D |
| Into the service of his constant heart | D |
| His own dejection downcast Flower could share | E |
| With thine and gave the mournful name which thou wilt ever bear | E |
