The Woman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAABABCDCDAEAFWITH 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 |
