The Little Lady Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBA AEFEGHA IJAJKJA LAMANAA| O The Little Lady's dainty | A |
| As the picture in a book | B |
| And her hands are creamy whiter | C |
| Than the water lilies look | B |
| Her laugh's the undrown'd music | D |
| Of the maddest meadow brook | B |
| Yet all in vain I praise The Little Lady | A |
| - | |
| Her eyes are blue and dewy | A |
| As the glimmering Summer dawn | E |
| Her face is like the eglantine | F |
| Before the dew is gone | E |
| And were that honied mouth of hers | G |
| A bee's to feast upon | H |
| He'd be a bee bewildered Little Lady | A |
| - | |
| Her brow makes light look sallow | I |
| And the sunshine I declare | J |
| Is but a yellow jealousy | A |
| Awakened by her hair | J |
| For O the dazzling glint of it | K |
| Nor sight nor soul can bear | J |
| So Love goes groping for The Little Lady | A |
| - | |
| And yet she's neither Nymph nor Fay | L |
| Nor yet of Angelkind | A |
| She's but a racing school girl with | M |
| Her hair blown out behind | A |
| And tremblingly unbraided by | N |
| The fingers of the Wind | A |
| As it wildly swoops upon The Little Lady | A |
