Their Beginning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI| Their illicit pleasure has been fulfilled | A |
| They get up and dress quickly without a word | B |
| They come out of the house separately furtively | C |
| and as they move off down the street a bit unsettled | D |
| it seems they sense that something about them betrays | E |
| what kind of bed they've just been lying on | F |
| But what profit for the life of the artist | G |
| tomorrow the day after or years later he'll give voice | H |
| to the strong lines that had their beginning here | I |
