The Giantess Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGC CCC HIJ| In times when madcap Nature in her verve | A |
| Conceived each day a hatch of monstrous spawn | B |
| I might have lived near some young giantess | C |
| Like a voluptuous cat before a queen | D |
| - | |
| To watch her body tlower with her soul | E |
| And grow up freely in her dreadful play | F |
| To guess about a passion's sombre tlame | G |
| Bom in the mists that swim within her eyes | C |
| - | |
| At leisure to explore her mighty forms | C |
| To climb the slopes of her enormous knees | C |
| And sometimes when the summer's tainted suns | C |
| - | |
| Had lain her out across the countryside | H |
| To drowse in nonchalance below her breast | I |
| Like a calm village in the mountain's shade | J |
