A New Suit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABAAAC DDDEFFFE GHGAIJJA KKKALLLA MMMMNNNM HHHOPPPOThe artist and the loom unseen | A |
In textures soft as crepe de chine | A |
Spring weaves her royal robe of green | A |
With grasses fringed and daisies dotted | B |
With furzy tufts like mosses fine | A |
And showy clumps of eglantine | A |
With dainty shrub and creeping vine | A |
Upon the verdant fabric knotted | C |
- | |
Oh winter takes our love away | D |
For ashen hues of sober gray | D |
So when the blooming blushing May | D |
Comes out in bodice cap and kirtle | E |
With arbutus her corsage laced | F |
And roses clinging to her waist | F |
We crown her charming queen of taste | F |
Her chaplet wreath of modest myrtle | E |
- | |
For eighteen centuries and more | G |
Her fairy hands have modeled o'er | H |
The same habiliments she wore | G |
At her primeval coronation | A |
And still the pattern exquisite | I |
For every age a perfect fit | J |
In every land the favorite | J |
Elicits world wide admiration | A |
- | |
Gay butterflies of fashion you | K |
Who wear a suit a year or two | K |
Then agitate for something new | K |
Look at Regina the patrician | A |
Her cleverness is more than gold | L |
Who so transforms from fabrics old | L |
The things a marvel to behold | L |
And glories in the exhibition | A |
- | |
Why worry for an overdress | M |
The acme of luxuriousness | M |
Beyond all envy to possess | M |
Renewed as oft as lambkin fleeces | M |
Why flutter round in pretty pique | N |
To follow style's capricious freak | N |
To match pongee or moire antique | N |
And break your peace in hopeless pieces | M |
- | |
O mantua maker costumer | H |
And fair robed wearer study her | H |
And imitate the conjurer | H |
So prettily economizing | O |
Without demur regret or pout | P |
Who always puts the bright side out | P |
And never frets at all about | P |
The world's penchant for criticizing | O |
