A Ballad Of The Mulberry Road Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHHIF DJKCFFThe sun rises in south east corner of things | A |
To look on the tall house of the Shin | B |
For they have a daughter named Rafu | C |
pretty girl | D |
She made the name for herself 'Gauze Veil ' | E |
For she feeds mulberries to silkworms | F |
She gets them by the south wall of the town | G |
With green strings she makes the warp of her basket | H |
She makes the shoulder straps of her basket | H |
from the boughs of Katsura | I |
And she piles her hair up on the left side of her headpiece | F |
- | |
Her earrings are made of pearl | D |
Her underskirt is of green pattern silk | J |
Her overskirt is the same silk dyed in purple | K |
And when men going by look on Rafu | C |
They set down their burdens | F |
They stand and twirl their moustaches | F |
