Aesthetic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF CHCH CACA IJIJ CACA CACA| In a garb that was guiltless of colours | A |
| She stood with a dull listless air | B |
| A creature of dumps and of dolours | A |
| But most undeniably fair | B |
| - | |
| The folds of her garment fell round her | C |
| Revealing the curve of each limb | D |
| Well proportioned and graceful I found her | C |
| Although quite alarmingly slim | D |
| - | |
| From the hem of her robe peeped one sandal | E |
| High art was she down to her feet | F |
| And though I could not understand all | G |
| She said I could see she was sweet | F |
| - | |
| Impressed by her limpness and languor | C |
| I proffered a chair near at hand | H |
| She looked back a mild sort of anger | C |
| Posed anew and continued to stand | H |
| - | |
| Some praises I next tried to mutter | C |
| Of the fan that she held to her face | A |
| She said it was utterly utter | C |
| And waved it with languishing grace | A |
| - | |
| I then in a strain quite poetic | I |
| Begged her gaze on the bow in the sky | J |
| She looked said its curve was aesthetic | I |
| But the tone was too dreadfully high | J |
| - | |
| Her lovely face lit by the splendour | C |
| That glorified landscape and sea | A |
| Woke thoughts that were daring and tender | C |
| Did her thoughts too rest upon me | A |
| - | |
| Oh tell me I cried growing bolder | C |
| Have I in your musings a place | A |
| Well yes she said over her shoulder | C |
| I was thinking of nothing in space | A |
