A Study (a Soul) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCCDCShe 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 |
