The World Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBADEDFEF| By day she wooes me soft exceeding fair | A |
| But all night as the moon so changeth she | B |
| Loathsome and foul with hideous leprosy | B |
| And subtle serpents gliding in her hair | A |
| By day she wooes me to the outer air | A |
| Ripe fruits sweet flowers and full satiety | C |
| But through the night a beast she grins at me | B |
| A very monster void of love and prayer | A |
| By day she stands a lie by night she stands | D |
| In all the naked horror of the truth | E |
| With pushing horns and clawed and clutching hands | D |
| Is this a friend indeed that I should sell | F |
| My soul to her give her my life and youth | E |
| Till my feet cloven too take hold on hell | F |
