Bluebeard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGDDThis door you might not open and you did | A |
So enter now and see for what slight thing | B |
You are betrayed Here is no treasure hid | A |
No cauldron no clear crystal mirroring | B |
The sought for truth no heads of women slain | C |
For greed like yours no writhings of distress | D |
But only what you see Look yet again | E |
An empty room cobwebbed and comfortless | D |
Yet this alone out of my life I kept | F |
Unto myself lest any know me quite | G |
And you did so profane me when you crept | F |
Unto the threshold of this room to night | G |
That I must never more behold your face | D |
This now is yours I seek another place | D |
