In The Gardens Of Shushan Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EBEB FBF GHGH| BE pitiful Her lips have touched this cool | A |
| Clear stream that sets the long green leaves astir | B |
| The very doves that dream beside the pool | A |
| Sang their soft notes to her | B |
| - | |
| For her these doors that claim the amorous south | C |
| Bound in red bronze and stayed with cedar wood | D |
| And here the bees sought honey from her mouth | C |
| So like a flower she stood | D |
| - | |
| For her the globed pomegranates grew and all | E |
| Sweet savoury fruits rose perfect from their flower | B |
| Here has her soul known silence and the fall | E |
| Of each enchanted hour | B |
| - | |
| Under her feet all beauty was laid low | F |
| In her deep eyes all beauty was made clear | B |
| When the king called her through the evening glow | F |
| 'O Vashti I am here ' | - |
| - | |
| Still the sweet wells return to me her face | G |
| Still her lost name on every wind is blown | H |
| The shadows and the silence of this place | G |
| Are hers alone | H |
