Rondeau Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBACCBDCEBBCD| Ah Manon say why is it we | A |
| Are one and all so fain of thee | A |
| Thy rich red beauty debonnaire | B |
| In very truth is not more fair | B |
| Than the shy grace and purity | A |
| That clothe the maiden maidenly | C |
| Her gray eyes shine more tenderly | C |
| And not less bright than thine her hair | B |
| Ah Manon say | D |
| Expound I pray the mystery | C |
| Why wine stained lip and languid eye | E |
| And most unsaintly Maenad air | B |
| Should move us more than all the rare | B |
| White roses of virginity | C |
| Ah Manon say | D |
