Modern Love Xxii: What May The Woman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGHHG| What may the woman labour to confess | A |
| There is about her mouth a nervous twitch | B |
| 'Tis something to be told or hidden which | B |
| I get a glimpse of hell in this mild guess | A |
| She has desires of touch as if to feel | C |
| That all the household things are things she knew | D |
| She stops before the glass What sight in view | D |
| A face that seems the latest to reveal | C |
| For she turns from it hastily and tossed | E |
| Irresolute steals shadow like to where | F |
| I stand and wavering pale before me there | F |
| Her tears fall still as oak leaves after frost | E |
| She will not speak I will not ask We are | G |
| League sundered by the silent gulf between | H |
| Yon burly lovers on the village green | H |
| Yours is a lower and a happier star | G |
