Dinah Kneading Dough Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEDDFFDD GGBBHHDD

I have seen full many a sightA
Born of day or drawn by nightA
Sunlight on a silver streamB
Golden lilies all a dreamB
Lofty mountains bold and proudC
Veiled beneath the lacelike cloudC
But no lovely sight I knowD
Equals Dinah kneading doughD
-
Brown arms buried elbow deepE
Their domestic rhythm keepE
As with steady sweep they goD
Through the gently yielding doughD
Maids may vaunt their finer charmsF
Naught to me like Dinah's armsF
Girls may draw or paint or sewD
I love Dinah kneading doughD
-
Eyes of jet and teeth of pearlG
Hair some say too tight a curlG
But the dainty maid I deemB
Very near perfection's dreamB
Swift she works and only flingsH
Me a glance the least of thingsH
And I wonder does she knowD
That my heart is in the doughD

Paul Laurence Dunbar
