Exotic Perfume Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDEC FEF EGG| When with closed eyes in autumn's eves of gold | A |
| I breathe the burning odours of your breast | B |
| Before my eyes the hills of happy rest | B |
| Bathed in the sun's monotonous fires unfold | A |
| - | |
| Islands of Lethe where exotic boughs | C |
| Bend with their burden of strange fruit bowed down | D |
| Where men are upright maids have never grown | E |
| Unkind but bear a light upon their brows | C |
| - | |
| Led by that perfume to these lands of ease | F |
| I see a port where many ships have flown | E |
| With sails outwearied of the wandering seas | F |
| - | |
| While the faint odours from green tamarisks blown | E |
| Float to my soul and in my senses throng | G |
| And mingle vaguely with the sailor's song | G |
