At Seventeen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDC EF EFG| You were a child and liked me yesterday | A |
| To day you are a woman and perhaps | B |
| Those softer eyes betoken the sweet lapse | B |
| Of liking into loving who shall say | A |
| Only I know that there can be for us | C |
| No liking more nor any kisses now | D |
| But they shall wake sweet shame upon your brow | D |
| Sweetly or in a rose calamitous | C |
| - | |
| Trembling upon the verge of some new dawn | E |
| You stand as if awakened out of sleep | F |
| And it is I who cried to you 'Arise ' | - |
| I who would fain call back the child that's gone | E |
| And what you lost for me would have you keep | F |
| Fearing to meet the woman of your eyes | G |
