A Lady Who Thinks She Is Thirty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFBF GHGH HIHI JKJK

Unwillingly Miranda wakesA
Feels the sun with terrorB
One unwilling step she takesA
Shuddering to the mirrorB
-
Miranda in Miranda's sightC
Is old and gray and dirtyD
Twenty nine she was last nightC
This morning she is thirtyD
-
Shining like the morning starE
Like the twilight shiningF
Haunted by a calendarB
Miranda is a piningF
-
Silly girl silver girlG
Draw the mirror toward youH
Time who makes the years to whirlG
Adorned as he adored youH
-
Time is timelessness for youH
Calendars for the humanI
What's a year or thirty toH
Loveliness made womanI
-
Oh Night will not see thirty againJ
Yet soft her wing MirandaK
Pick up your glass and tell me thenJ
How old is Spring MirandaK
