For A Creole Lady Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEEF GHG IJKOff in a perfumed land bathed gently by the sun | A |
Under a palm tree's shade tinged with a crimson trace | B |
A place where indolence drops on the eyes like rain | C |
I met a Creole lady of unstudied grace | B |
- | |
This brown enchantress' skin is warm and light in tone | D |
Her neck is noble proud her manner dignified | E |
Slender and tall she goes with huntress' easy stride | E |
Her smile is tranquil and her eyes are confident | F |
- | |
Madame if you should come to place of pride and praise | G |
Beside the green Loire or by the pleasant Seine | H |
Adorning ancient mansions with your stately ways | G |
- | |
There in the shelter of the shady groves you'd start | I |
A thousand sonnets blooming in the poets' hearts | J |
Whom your great eyes would turn to sycophants and slaves | K |
Charles Baudelaire
