No Miracle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD BEBE FGFG HHHH IHIHJHJH| They had a tale on which to gloat | A |
| The gossips sitting in a row | B |
| How Feylimeed took wife by throat | A |
| And broke her beauty with a blow | B |
| - | |
| And one and then another said | C |
| Ah fortunate if now she die | D |
| For piteous is a cloth bound head | C |
| Instead of beauty's flashing eye | D |
| - | |
| Else to some desert let her go | B |
| From women's words and eyes of men | E |
| But ancient Eefa whispered low | B |
| Simply you read the story then | E |
| - | |
| No other word old Eefa spoke | F |
| But smiling blinked from side to side | G |
| Till Enna breathless on them broke | F |
| Her mouth and eyes with horror wide | G |
| - | |
| He gropes his way his eyes are out | H |
| Who gropes his way Why Faylimeed | H |
| The blind cat's fingers without doubt | H |
| Got at them sleeping Nay indeed | H |
| - | |
| No fingers but his own plucked flung | I |
| Them dazzling in the sullen tide | H |
| For ah they say his heart was wrung | I |
| To see the wreck of beauty's pride | H |
| Then Eefa whispered from her place | J |
| As Faylimeed gripped wife by throat | H |
| Her eyes flashed love into his face | J |
| And his heart blazed while his hand smote | H |
