The Woman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAABABCDCDAEAF| WITH her fair face she made my heaven | A |
| Beneath whose stars and moon and sun | A |
| I worshiped praying having striven | A |
| For wealth through which she might be won | A |
| And yet she had no soul A woman | A |
| As fair and cruel as a god | B |
| Who played with hearts as nothing human | A |
| And tossed them by and on them trod | B |
| She killed a soul she did it nightly | C |
| Luring it forth from peace and prayer | D |
| To strangle it and laughing lightly | C |
| Cast it into the gutter there | D |
| And yet not for a purer vision | A |
| Would I exchange or Paradise | E |
| Possess instead of Hell my prison | A |
| Where burns the passion of her eyes | F |
