Her Hair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEDDDD| The beauty of her hair bewilders me | A |
| Pouring adown the brow its cloven tide | B |
| Swirling about the ears on either side | B |
| And storming round the neck tumultuously | C |
| Or like the lights of old antiquity | A |
| Through mullioned windows in cathedrals wide | B |
| Spilled moltenly o'er figures deified | B |
| In chastest marble nude of drapery | A |
| And so I love it Either unconfined | D |
| Or plaited in close braidings manifold | E |
| Or smoothly drawn or indolently twined | D |
| In careless knots whose coilings come unrolled | D |
| At any lightest kiss or by the wind | D |
| Whipped out in flossy ravellings of gold | D |
