In this sonnet the octave has the traditional rhyme scheme of an Italian sonnet, but it is followed by a variation of the sestet and does not contain a rhyming couplet in the final two lines. The use of run-on lines cause the end rhymes to be lost in the middle of the sentences. This use of caesura and enjambment creates a flowing feeling as Millay describes her lovers.
