An Incident Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFBEFB| Here is a tale for men and women teachers | A |
| There was a girl who'd ceased to be a maiden | B |
| Who walked by night with heart like Lilith's laden | B |
| A child of sin anathemaed of preachers | A |
| She had been lovely once but dye and scarlet | C |
| On hair and face had ravaged all her beauty | D |
| Only her eyes still did her girl soul duty | D |
| Showing the hell that hounded her poor harlot | C |
| One day a fisherman from out the river | E |
| Fished her pale body like a branch of willlow | F |
| Or golden weed self murdered drowned and broken | B |
| The sight of it had made a strong man shiver | E |
| And on her poor breast as upon a pillow | F |
| A picture smiled a baby's like some token | B |
