La Derniere Robe De Soi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BBCC DDEE FFFF GHAAOH silken gown all pink and pretty | A |
Bought quite a bargain in the City | A |
Your ill trained soul full false has played me | A |
No Paris gown would have betrayed me | A |
- | |
You knew my pretty silken treasure | B |
I must not wed for love or pleasure | B |
But for a settlement and title | C |
Yet you encouraged his recital | C |
- | |
He said oh faithless gown you listened | D |
While on your sheen two tear drops glistened | D |
He said let love to music set it | E |
I'll never speak it nor forget it | E |
- | |
'No no ' I cried I tried to save you | F |
False gown you showed the tears I gave you | F |
You looked discreet when first I found you | F |
How could you let his arm go round you | F |
- | |
You darling dress I'll smooth your creases | G |
I'll wear you till you drop to pieces | H |
But poor men's wives wear cotton only | A |
Dear gown I hope you won't feel lonely | A |
