Hendecasyllabics Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABACDEAEABAEFGAFHHI E| O you chorus of indolent reviewers | A |
| Irresponsible indolent reviewers | A |
| Look I come to the test a tiny poem | B |
| All composed in a metre of Catullus | A |
| All in quantity careful of my motion | C |
| Like the skater on ice that hardly bears him | D |
| Lest I fall unawares before the people | E |
| Waking laughter in indolent reviewers | A |
| Should I flounder awhile without a tumble | E |
| Thro' this metrification of Catullus | A |
| They should speak to me not without a welcome | B |
| All that chorus of indolent reviewers | A |
| Hard hard hard it is only not to tumble | E |
| So fantastical is the dainty meter | F |
| Wherefore slight me not wholly nor believe me | G |
| Too presumptuous indolent reviewers | A |
| O blatant Magazines regard me rather | F |
| Since I blush to belaud myself a moment | H |
| As some rare little rose a piece of inmost | H |
| Horticultural art or half coquette like | I |
| Maiden not to be greeted unbenignly | E |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
