Modern Love Iii: This Was The Woman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGHHG| This was the woman what now of the man | A |
| But pass him If he comes beneath a heel | B |
| He shall be crushed until he cannot feel | B |
| Or being callous haply till he can | A |
| But he is nothing nothing Only mark | C |
| The rich light striking out from her on him | D |
| Ha what a sense it is when her eyes swim | D |
| Across the man she singles leaving dark | C |
| All else Lord God who mad'st the thing so fair | E |
| See that I am drawn to her even now | F |
| It cannot be such harm on her cool brow | F |
| To put a kiss Yet if I meet him there | E |
| But she is mine Ah no I know too well | G |
| I claim a star whose light is overcast | H |
| I claim a phantom woman in the Past | H |
| The hour has struck though I heard not the bell | G |
