Zudora Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DD ECF GG HIJ KK LM M NN BB II H OP| Here on the pale beach in the darkness | A |
| With the full moon just to rise | B |
| They sit alone and look over the sea | C |
| Or into each other's eyes | B |
| - | |
| She pokes her parasol into the sleepy sand | D |
| Or sifts the lazy whiteness through her hand | D |
| - | |
| 'A lovely night ' he says 'the moon | E |
| Comes up for you and me | C |
| Just like a blind old spotlight there | F |
| Fizzing across the sea ' | - |
| - | |
| She pays no heed nor even turns her head | G |
| He slides his arm around her waist instead | G |
| - | |
| 'Why don't we do a sketch together | H |
| Those songs you sing are swell | I |
| Where did you get them anyway | J |
| They suit you awfully well ' | - |

| She will not turn to him will not resist | K |
| Impassive she submits to being kissed | K |
| - | |
| 'My husband wrote all four of them | L |
| You know my husband drowned | M |
| He was always sickly soon depressed ' | - |
| But still she hears the sound | M |
| - | |
| Of a stateroom door shut hard and footsteps going | N |
| Swiftly and steadily and the dark sea flowing | N |
| - | |
| She hears the dark sea flowing and sees his eyes | B |
| Hollow with disenchantment sick surprise | B |
| - | |
| And hate of her whom he had loved too well | I |
| She lowers her eyes demurely prods a shell | I |
| - | |
| 'Yes We might do an act together | H |
| That would be very nice ' | - |
| He kisses her passionately and thinks | O |
| She's carnal but cold as ice | P |
