After The Opera Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEFGC CB HIJ| Down the stone stairs | A |
| Girls with their large eyes wide with tragedy | B |
| Lift looks of shocked and momentous emotion up at me | B |
| And I smile | C |
| - | |
| Ladies | D |
| Stepping like birds with their bright and pointed feet | E |
| Peer anxiously forth as if for a boat to carry them out of the wreckage | F |
| And among the wreck of the theatre crowd | G |
| I stand and smile | C |
| - | |
| They take tragedy so becomingly | C |
| Which pleases me | B |
| - | |
| But when I meet the weary eyes | H |
| The reddened aching eyes of the bar man with thin arms | I |
| I am glad to go back to where I came from | J |
