What Would They Say? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABAAAA AAA C| What would the people say reduced and empty | A |
| If one fortuitous day by some extreme fantasy | A |
| I were to dye my hair silvery and violet were to wear an old greek gown exchanging the comb | B |
| for a circlet of flowers forget me nots or jasmines | A |
| were to sing through the streets to the rhythm of the violins | A |
| or were to read my verses aloud traveling the plazas | A |
| my gusto freed of common gags | A |
| - | |
| Would they go to watch me covering the sidewalks | A |
| Would they burn me like they burned enchantresses | A |
| Would they ring the bells calling to mass | A |
| - | |
| In truth when I think of it I laugh a little | C |
