Two Women Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFF GGHIJKLLMM| I know two women and one is chaste | A |
| And cold as the snows on a winters waste | A |
| Stainless ever I act and thought | B |
| As a man born dumb in speech errs not | C |
| But she has malice toward her kind | D |
| A cruel tongue and a jealous mind | D |
| Void of pity and full of greed | E |
| She judges the world by her narrow creed | E |
| A brewer of quarrels a breeder of hate | F |
| Yet she holds the key to Society s Gate | F |
| - | |
| The other woman with heart of flame | G |
| Went mad for a love that marred her name | G |
| And out of the grave of her murdered faith | H |
| She rose like a soul that has passed through death | I |
| Her aims are noble her pity so broad | J |
| It covers the world like the mercy of God | K |
| A soother of discord a healer of woes | L |
| Peace follows her footsteps wherever she goes | L |
| The worthier life of the two no doubt | M |
| And yet Society locks her out | M |
