For A Creole Lady Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEEF GHG IJK| Off 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 |
