A Spiritual Woman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBB AEAFGAHHHHIH| Close your eyes my love let me make you blind | A |
| They have taught you to see | B |
| Only a mean arithmetic on the face of things | C |
| A cunning algebra in the faces of men | D |
| And God like geometry | B |
| Completing his circles and working cleverly | B |
| - | |
| I ll kiss you over the eyes till I kiss you blind | A |
| If I can if any one could | E |
| Then perhaps in the dark you ll have got what you want to find | A |
| You ve discovered so many bits with your clever eyes | F |
| And I m a kaleidoscope | G |
| That you shake and shake and yet it won t come to your mind | A |
| Now stop carping at me But God how I hate you | H |
| Do you fear I shall swindle you | H |
| Do you think if you take me as I am that that will abate you | H |
| Somehow so sad so intrinsic so spiritual yet so cautious you | H |
| Must have me all in your will and your consciousness | I |
| I hate you | H |
