A New Suit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAABAAAC DDDEFFFE GHGAIJJA KKKALLLA MMMMNNNM HHHOPPPO

The artist and the loom unseenA
In textures soft as crepe de chineA
Spring weaves her royal robe of greenA
With grasses fringed and daisies dottedB
With furzy tufts like mosses fineA
And showy clumps of eglantineA
With dainty shrub and creeping vineA
Upon the verdant fabric knottedC
-
Oh winter takes our love awayD
For ashen hues of sober grayD
So when the blooming blushing MayD
Comes out in bodice cap and kirtleE
With arbutus her corsage lacedF
And roses clinging to her waistF
We crown her charming queen of tasteF
Her chaplet wreath of modest myrtleE
-
For eighteen centuries and moreG
Her fairy hands have modeled o'erH
The same habiliments she woreG
At her primeval coronationA
And still the pattern exquisiteI
For every age a perfect fitJ
In every land the favoriteJ
Elicits world wide admirationA
-
Gay butterflies of fashion youK
Who wear a suit a year or twoK
Then agitate for something newK
Look at Regina the patricianA
Her cleverness is more than goldL
Who so transforms from fabrics oldL
The things a marvel to beholdL
And glories in the exhibitionA
-
Why worry for an overdressM
The acme of luxuriousnessM
Beyond all envy to possessM
Renewed as oft as lambkin fleecesM
Why flutter round in pretty piqueN
To follow style's capricious freakN
To match pongee or moire antiqueN
And break your peace in hopeless piecesM
-
O mantua maker costumerH
And fair robed wearer study herH
And imitate the conjurerH
So prettily economizingO
Without demur regret or poutP
Who always puts the bright side outP
And never frets at all aboutP
The world's penchant for criticizingO
