In Bertram's Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII| Jane looks down at her organdy skirt | A |
| As if it somehow were the thing disgraced | B |
| For being there on the floor in the dirt | A |
| And she catches it up about her waist | B |
| Smooths it out along one hip | C |
| And pulls it over the crumpled slip | C |
| - | |
| On the porch green shuttered cool | D |
| Asleep is Bertram that bronze boy | E |
| Who having wound her around a spool | D |
| Sends her spinning like a toy | E |
| Out to the garden all alone | F |
| To sit and weep on a bench of stone | F |
| - | |
| Soon the purple dark must bruise | G |
| Lily and bleeding heart and rose | H |
| And the little cupid lose | G |
| Eyes and ears and chin and nose | H |
| And Jane lie down with others soon | I |
| Naked to the naked moon | I |
