A Wall Flower Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AB CCC DEE FFF CCC

i I lounge in the doorway and languish in vainA
While Tom Dick and Harry are dancing with Jane iB
-
-
My spirit rises to the music's beatC
There is a leaden fiend lurks in my feetC
To move unto your motion Love were sweetC
-
Somewhere I think some other where not hereD
In other ages on another sphereE
I danced with you and you with me my dearE
-
In perfect motion did our bodies swayF
To perfect music that was heard alwayF
Woe's me that am so dull of foot to dayF
-
To move unto your motion Love were sweetC
My spirit rises to the music's beatC
But ah the leaden demon in my feetC
