To My Laundress Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Saponacea wert thou not so fair | A |
| I'd curse thee for thy multitude of sins | B |
| For sending home my clothes all full of pins | B |
| A shirt occasionally that's a snare | A |
| And a delusion got the Lord knows where | A |
| The Lord knows why a sock whose outs and ins | B |
| None know nor where it ends nor where begins | B |
| And fewer cuffs than ought to be my share | A |
| But when I mark thy lilies how they grow | C |
| And the red roses of thy ripening charms | D |
| I bless the lovelight in thy dark eyes dreaming | E |
| I'll never pay thee but I'd gladly go | C |
| Into the magic circle of thine arms | D |
| Supple and fragrant from repeated steaming | E |
