The Woman Speaks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFDEF| Why have you come to see me in my shame | A |
| A thing to spit on to despise and scorn | B |
| And then to ask me You by whom was torn | B |
| And then cast by like some vile rag my name | A |
| What shelter could you give me now that blame | A |
| And loathing would not share that wolves of vice | C |
| Would not besiege with eyes of glaring ice | C |
| Wherein Sin sat not with her face of flame | A |
| 'You love me' God If yours be love for lust | D |
| Hell must invent another synonym | E |
| If yours be love then hatred is the way | F |
| To Heaven and God and not with soul but dust | D |
| Must burn the faces of the Cherubim | E |
| O lie of lies if yours be love I say | F |
