Discrimination Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JKJKLL| I used to love a radiant girl | A |
| Her lips were like a rose leaf torn | B |
| Her heart was as free as a floating curl | A |
| Or a breeze at morn | B |
| Her step as light as a Peri's daughter | C |
| And her eye as soft as gliding water | C |
| - | |
| Witching thoughts like things half hid | D |
| Lurk'd beneath her silken lashes | E |
| And a modest droop of the veined lid | D |
| Oft hid their flashes | E |
| But to me the charm was more complete | F |
| As the blush stole up its fringe to meet | F |
| - | |
| Paint me love as a honey bee | G |
| Rosy mouths are things to sip | H |
| Nothing was ever so sweet to me | G |
| As Marion's lip | H |
| Till I learned that a deeper magic lies | I |
| In kissing the lids of her closed eyes | I |
| - | |
| Her sweet brow I seldom touch | J |
| Save to part her raven hair | K |
| Her bright cheek I gaze on much | J |
| Her white hand is fair | K |
| But none of these I've tried them all | L |
| Is like kissing her eyes as the lashes fall | L |
