At The Theatre Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDEFGDDCEI got bored looking at the stage | A |
and raised my eyes to the box circle | B |
In one of the boxes I saw you | C |
with your strange beauty your decadent youthfulness | D |
My thoughts turned back at once | D |
to all I'd heard about you that afternoon | E |
my mind and body were aroused | F |
And as I gazed enthralled | G |
at your languid beauty your languid youthfulness | D |
your tastefully discriminating dress | D |
in my imagination I kept picturing you | C |
the way they'd talked about you that afternoon | E |
