Body's Beauty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBA DEDEED| Of Adam's first wife Lilith it is told | A |
| The witch he loved before the gift of Eve | B |
| That ere the snake's her sweet tongue could deceive | B |
| And her enchanted hair was the first gold | A |
| And still she sits young while the earth is old | A |
| And subtly of herself contemplative | C |
| Draws men to watch the bright web she can weave | B |
| Till heart and body and life are in its hold | A |
| - | |
| The rose and poppy are her flowers for where | D |
| Is he not found O Lilith whom shed scent | E |
| And soft shed kisses and soft sleep shall snare | D |
| Lo as that youth's eyes burned at thine so went | E |
| Thy spell through him and left his straight neck bent | E |
| And round his heart one strangling golden hair | D |
