Tout Entië"re - (twelve Translations From Charles Baudelaire) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIK LKMK| This morning in my attic high | A |
| The Demon came to visit me | B |
| And seeking faults in my reply | A |
| He said I would inquire of thee | B |
| - | |
| Of all the beauties which compose | C |
| Her charming body's potent spell | D |
| Of all the objects black and rose | C |
| Which make the thing you love so well | D |
| - | |
| Which is the sweetest O my soul | E |
| Thou didst rejoin How tell of parts | F |
| When all I know is that the whole | E |
| Works magic in my heart of hearts | F |
| - | |
| Where all is fair how should I say | G |
| What single grace is my delight | H |
| She shines on me like break of day | G |
| And she consoles me as the night | H |
| - | |
| There flows through all her perfect frame | I |
| A harmony too exquisite | J |
| That weak analysis should name | I |
| The numberless accords of it | K |
| - | |
| O mystic metamorphosis | L |
| My separate senses all are blent | K |
| Within her breath soft music is | M |
| And in her voice a subtle scent | K |
