Penelope's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDECCCFGHIJKLHEMBJ NCAOPQ

Little soul little perpetually undressed oneA
Do now as I bid you climbB
The shelf like branches of the spruce treeC
Wait at the top attentive likeD
A sentry or look out He will be home soonE
It behooves you to beC
Generous You have not been completelyC
Perfect either with your troublesome bodyC
You have done things you shouldn'tF
Discuss in poems ThereforeG
Call out to him over the open water over the brightH
WaterI
With your dark song with your graspingJ
Unnatural song passionateK
Like Maria Callas WhoL
Wouldn't want you Whose most demonic appetiteH
Could you possibly fail to answer SoonE
He will return from wherever he goes in theM
MeantimeB
Suntanned from his time away wantingJ
His grilled chicken Ah you must greet himN
You must shake the boughs of the treeC
To get his attentionA
But carefully carefully lestO
His beautiful face be marredP
By too many falling needlesQ
