Javanese Dancers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CAAC DEDE FGHF DIDJ| Twitched strings the clang of metal beaten drums | A |
| Dull shrill continuous disquieting | B |
| And now the stealthy dancer comes | A |
| Undulantly with cat like steps that cling | B |
| - | |
| Smiling between her painted lids a smile | C |
| Motionless unintelligible she twines | A |
| Her fingers into mazy lines | A |
| The scarves across her fingers twine the while | C |
| - | |
| One two three four glide forth and to and fro | D |
| Delicately and imperceptibly | E |
| Now swaying gently in a row | D |
| Now interthreading slow and rhythmically | E |
| - | |
| Still with fixed eyes monotonously still | F |
| Mysteriously with smiles inanimate | G |
| With lingering feet that undulate | H |
| With sinuous fingers spectral hands that thrill | F |
| - | |
| In measure while the gnats of music whirr | D |
| The little amber coloured dancers move | I |
| Like painted idols seen to stir | D |
| By the idolators in a magic grove | J |
