Lover's Gifts Xvi: She Dwelt Here By The Pool Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFAGHIJKLLKMEB| She dwelt here by the pool with its landing stairs in ruins Many | A |
| an evening she had watched the moon made dizzy by the shaking of | B |
| bamboo leaves and on many a rainy day the smell of the wet earth | C |
| had come to her over the young shoots of rice | D |
| Her pet name is known here among those date palm groves and | E |
| in the courtyards where girls sit and talk while stitching their | F |
| winter quilts The water in this pool keeps in its depth the memory | A |
| of her swimming limbs and her wet feet had left their marks day | G |
| after day on the footpath leading to the village | H |
| The women who come to day with their vessels to the water have | I |
| all seen her smile over simple jests and the old peasant taking | J |
| his bullocks to their bath used to stop at her door every day to | K |
| greet her | L |
| Many a sailing boat passes by this village many a traveller | L |
| takes rest beneath that banyan tree the ferry boat crosses to | K |
| yonder ford carrying crowds to the market but they never notice | M |
| this spot by the village road near the pool with its ruined | E |
| landing stairs where dwelt she whom I love | B |
