After The German. A Sophomore Soliloquy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDDD CEFE DGHG DIJI| Blackboard with ruler and rubber before me | A |
| Chalk loosely held in my hand | B |
| Sun gilded motes in the air all around me | A |
| Listlessly dreaming I stand | B |
| - | |
| What do I care for the problem I've written | C |
| In characters gracefully slight | D |
| As the festal robed beauties whose fairy feet flitted | D |
| Through the maze of the German last night | D |
| - | |
| What do I care for the lever of friction | C |
| For sine or co ordinate plane | E |
| When fairy musicians are playing the Mabel | F |
| And waltzes each nerve in my brain | E |
| - | |
| On my coat's powdered chalk not the dust of the diamond | D |
| That only last night sparkled there | G |
| By the galop's wild whirl shower'd down on my shoulder | H |
| From turbulent tresses of hair | G |
| - | |
| In my ear is the clatter of chalk against blackboard | D |
| Not music's voluptuous swell | I |
| Alas this is life so pass mortal pleasures | J |
| And thank goodness there goes the bell | I |
