Virgin Youth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDECFGCEHHCIJKELLC EM| Now and again | A |
| All my body springs alive | B |
| And the life that is polarised in my eyes | C |
| That quivers between my eyes and mouth | D |
| Flies like a wild thing across my body | E |
| Leaving my eyes half empty and clamorous | C |
| Filling my still breasts with a flush and a flame | F |
| Gathering the soft ripples below my breast | G |
| Into urgent passionate waves | C |
| And my soft slumbering belly | E |
| Quivering awake with one impulse of desire | H |
| Gathers itself fiercely together | H |
| And my docile fluent arms | C |
| Knotting themselves with wild strength | I |
| To clasp what they have never clasped | J |
| Then I tremble and go trembling | K |
| Under the wild strange tyranny of my body | E |
| Till it has spent itself | L |
| And the relentless nodality of my eyes reasserts itself | L |
| Till the bursten flood of life ebbs back to my eyes | C |
| Back from my beautiful lonely body | E |
| Tired and unsatisfied | M |
