Fancy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DECE FGHG CIJI KBCB| Far in the Further East the skilful craftsman | A |
| Fashioned this fancy for the West's delight | B |
| This rose and azure Dragon crouching softly | C |
| Upon the satin skin close grained and white | B |
| - | |
| And you lay silent while his slender needles | D |
| Pricked the intricate pattern on your arm | E |
| Combining deftly Cruelty and Beauty | C |
| That subtle union whose child is charm | E |
| - | |
| Charm irresistible the lovely something | F |
| We follow in our dreams but may not reach | G |
| The unattainable Divine Enchantment | H |
| Hinted in music never heard in speech | G |
| - | |
| This from the blue design exhales towards me | C |
| As incense rises from the Homes of Prayer | I |
| While the unfettered eyes allured and rested | J |
| Urge the forbidden lips to stoop and share | I |
| - | |
| Share in the sweetness of the rose and azure | K |
| Traced in the Dragon's form upon the white | B |
| Curve of the arm Ah curb thyself my fancy | C |
| Where would'st thou drift in this enchanted flight | B |
