At The Play Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGHG IDJD

The poet painted a woman's soulA
Human trusting and kindB
And then he drew the soul of a manC
Brutal and base and blindB
-
And the woman loved in the old old wayD
And the man in the way of menE
And the poet christened their lives A PlayD
And he sat down to watch it and thenE
-
A woman rose with a bitter laughF
And her eyes were as dry as stoneG
As she bowed her head at the poet's stallH
And said in a strange cold toneG
-
He paints the best who has dipped his brushI
In the heart's own blood they sayD
You took my love and you took my lifeJ
But you gave the world a playD
