Sanary Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDD EFEFGG HIHI| Her little hot room looked over the bay | A |
| Through a stiff palisade of glinting palms | B |
| And there she would lie in the heat of the day | A |
| Her dark head resting upon her arms | C |
| So quiet so still she did not seem | D |
| To think to feel or even to dream | D |
| - | |
| The shimmering blinding web of sea | E |
| Hung from the sky and the spider sun | F |
| With busy frightening cruelty | E |
| Crawled over the sky and spun and spun | F |
| She could see it still when she shut her eyes | G |
| And the little boats caught in the web like flies | G |
| - | |
| Down below at this idle hour | H |
| Nobody walked in the dust street | I |
| A scent of a dying mimosa flower | H |
| Lay on the air but sweet too sweet | I |
