The Sin Of Detection Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCDEFDEF| SHE bowed her face among them all as one | A |
| By one they rose and went A little scorn | B |
| They showed a very little More forlorn | B |
| She seemed because of that she might have grown | C |
| Proud else in her turn and have so made known | C |
| What she well knew that the free hearted corn | B |
| Kissed by the hot air freely all the morn | B |
| Is better than the weed which has its own | C |
| Foul glut in secret Both her white breasts heaved | D |
| Like heaving water with their weight of lace | E |
| And her long tresses full of musk and myrrh | F |
| Were shaken from the braids her fingers weaved | D |
| So that they hid the shame in her pale face | E |
| Then I stept forth and bowed addressing her | F |
