Girl Of Fifteen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI JIA KLMN| Girl of fifteen | A |
| I see you each morning from my window | B |
| As you pass on your way to school | C |
| I do more than see I watch you | D |
| I furtively draw the curtain aside | E |
| And my heart leaps through my eyes | F |
| And follows you down the street | G |
| Leaving me behind half hid | H |
| And wholly ashamed | I |
| - | |
| What holds me back | J |
| Half hid behind the curtains and wholly ashamed | I |
| But my forty years beyond your fifteen | A |
| - | |
| Girl of fifteen as you pass | K |
| There passes too a lightning flash of time | L |
| In which you lift those forty summers off my head | M |
| And take those forty winters out of my heart | N |
