Pearls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACDACD| Baroque but beautiful between the lunes | A |
| The valves of nacre of a mussel shell | B |
| Behold a pearl shaped like the burnished bell | B |
| Of some strange blossom that long afternoons | A |
| Of summer coax to open all the moon's | A |
| Chaste lustre in it hues that only dwell | B |
| With purity It takes me like a spell | B |
| Back to a day when whistling truant tunes | A |
| A barefoot boy I waded 'mid the rocks | A |
| Searching for shells deep in the creek's slow swirl | C |
| Unconscious of the pearls that 'round me lay | D |
| While 'mid wild roses all her tomboy locks | A |
| Blond blowing stood unnoticed then a girl | C |
| My sweetheart once the pearl I flung away | D |
