Judith Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHHHII IIHHHH| O her eyes are amber fine | A |
| Dark and deep as wells of wine | A |
| While her smile is like the noon | B |
| Splendor of a day of June | B |
| If she sorrow lo her face | C |
| It is like a flowery space | C |
| In bright meadows overlaid | D |
| With light clouds and lulled with shade | D |
| If she laugh it is the trill | E |
| Of the wayward whippoorwill | E |
| Over upland pastures heard | F |
| Echoed by the mocking bird | F |
| In dim thickets dense with bloom | G |
| And blurred cloyings of perfume | G |
| If she sigh a zephyr swells | H |
| Over odorous asphodels | H |
| And wan lilies in lush plots | H |
| Of moon drown'd forget me nots | H |
| Then the soft touch of her hand | I |
| Takes all breath to understand | I |
| What to liken it thereto | I |
| Never roseleaf rinsed with dew | I |
| Might slip soother suave than slips | H |
| Her slow palm the while her lips | H |
| Swoon through mine with kiss on kiss | H |
| Sweet as heated honey is | H |
