The New Woman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEEFDF| THE stone that all the sullen centuries | A |
| With sluggish hands and massive fingers rude | B |
| Against the sepulchre of womanhood | C |
| Had sternly held she has thrust back with ease | A |
| And stands superbly arrogant the keys | A |
| Of knowledge in her hand won by a mood | B |
| Of daring in her beauty flaunting nude | B |
| Eager to drain life's wine unto the lees | A |
| So she shall tempt and touch and try and taste | D |
| And in the wrestle of the world shall lose | E |
| Her dimpled prettiness her petals bruise | E |
| But moulding ever to a truer type | F |
| She shall return to man no more abased | D |
| His counterpart a woman rounded ripe | F |
