The Blue Scarf Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIAIAJKCLDMAI N O| Pale with the blue of high zeniths shimmered over with silver brocaded | A |
| In smooth running patterns a soft stuff with dark knotted fringes | B |
| it lies there | C |
| Warm from a woman's soft shoulders and my fingers close on it caressing | D |
| Where is she the woman who wore it The scent of her lingers and drugs me | E |
| A languor fire shotted runs through me and I crush the scarf down | F |
| on my face | G |
| And gulp in the warmth and the blueness and my eyes swim | H |
| in cool tinted heavens | I |
| Around me are columns of marble and a diapered sun flickered pavement | A |
| Rose leaves blow and patter against it Below the stone steps a lute tinkles | I |
| A jar of green jade throws its shadow half over the floor A big bellied | A |
| Frog hops through the sunlight and plops in the gold bubbled water of a basin | J |
| Sunk in the black and white marble The west wind has lifted a scarf | K |
| On the seat close beside me the blue of it is a violent outrage of colour | C |
| She draws it more closely about her and it ripples beneath | L |
| her slight stirring | D |
| Her kisses are sharp buds of fire and I burn back against her a jewel | M |
| Hard and white a stalked flaming flower till I break to | A |
| a handful of cinders | I |
| And open my eyes to the scarf shining blue in the afternoon sunshine | N |
| - | |
| How loud clocks can tick when a room is empty and one is alone | O |
