Blue Girls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEED FGGF HIHJH| Twirling your blue skirts travelling the sward | A |
| Under the towers of your seminary | B |
| Go listen to your teachers old and contrary | B |
| Without believing a word | C |
| - | |
| Tie the white fillets then about your hair | D |
| And think no more of what will come to pass | E |
| Than bluebirds that go walking on the grass | E |
| And chattering on the air | D |
| - | |
| Practice your beauty blue girls before it fail | F |
| And I will cry with my loud lips and publish | G |
| Beauty which all our power shall never establish | G |
| It is so frail | F |
| - | |
| For I could tell you a story which is true | H |
| I know a woman with a terrible tongue | I |
| Blear eyes fallen from blue | H |
| All her perfections tarnished yet it is not long | J |
| Since she was lovelier than any of you | H |
