A Blouse Machinist Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAACDECFGFFBHBBIJII KLKK| Miss Murphy has blue eyes and blue black hair | A |
| Her machine's opposite mine | B |
| So I can stare | A |
| At her pale face and shining blue black hair | A |
| I'm sure that other people think her plain | C |
| But I could look at her | D |
| And look again | E |
| Although I see why people think her plain | C |
| She's nice to watch when her machine belt breaks | F |
| She has such delicate hands | G |
| And arms it takes | F |
| Ages for her to mend it when it breaks | F |
| Oh beauty's still elusive and she's fine | B |
| Though all the moulding | H |
| Of her face the line | B |
| Of nose mouth chin is Mongol yet she's fine | B |
| Of course things would be different in Japan | I |
| They'd see her beauty | J |
| On a silken fan | I |
| They'd paint her for a princess in Japan | I |
| But still her loveliness eludes the blind | K |
| They never use their eyes | L |
| But just their mind | K |
| So must much loveliness elude the blind | K |
