A Study (a Soul) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCCDC| She stands as pale as Parian statues stand | A |
| Like Cleopatra when she turned at bay | B |
| And felt her strength above the Roman sway | B |
| And felt the aspic writhing in her hand | A |
| Her face is steadfast toward the shadowy land | A |
| For dim beyond it looms the light of day | B |
| Her feet are steadfast all the arduous way | B |
| That foot track hath not wavered on the sand | A |
| She stands there like a beacon thro' the night | C |
| A pale clear beacon where the storm drift is | D |
| She stands alone a wonder deathly white | C |
| She stands there patient nerved with inner might | C |
| Indomitable in her feebleness | D |
| Her face and will athirst against the light | C |
