Dutch Mistress Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDCCEFGHIJK| A hotel in whose ledgers departures are more prominent than arrivals | A |
| With wet Koh i noors the October rain | B |
| strokes what's left of the naked brain | B |
| In this country laid flat for the sake of rivers | C |
| beer smells of Germany and the seaguls are | D |
| in the air like a page's soiled corners | C |
| Morning enters the premises with a coroner's | C |
| punctuality puts its ear | E |
| to the ribs of a cold radiator detects sub zero | F |
| the afterlife has to start somewhere | G |
| Correspondingly the angelic curls | H |
| grow more blond the skin gains its distant lordly | I |
| white while the bedding already coils | J |
| desperately in the basement laundry | K |
