The Skirt Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GEFE E| Hallo Germaine that's a fine skirt you have | A |
| A fine skirt for a queen A cruel queen | B |
| Let's feel the silk of it Silk from Japan | C |
| And trimmed with wide lace made on no machine | B |
| - | |
| Your skirt's a silken bell whose double clapper | D |
| Your legs have struck the passing of my fancies | E |
| O Germaine now I ring it my breast heaving | F |
| My hands press down upon your willing haunches | E |
| - | |
| Your bedroom O my bell is a fine belfry | G |
| My hands touch silk and seem to tear my ears | E |
| Those pegs are gallows on which skirts are hanging | F |
| Those hanging men are dazzling my eyes | E |
| - | |
| Motionless as an owl the oil lamp watches | E |
