Beauty's Wardrobe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EBEB FGCG HIHI JKAK LMNM| My love said she had nought to wear | A |
| Her garments all were old | B |
| And soon her body must go bare | A |
| Against the winter's cold | B |
| - | |
| I took her out into the dawn | C |
| And from the mountain's crest | D |
| Unwound long wreaths of misty lawn | C |
| And wound them round her breast | D |
| - | |
| Then passed we to the maple grove | E |
| Like a great hall of gold | B |
| The yellow and the red we wove | E |
| In rustling flounce and fold | B |
| - | |
| Now love said I go do it on | F |
| And I would have you note | G |
| No lovely lady dead and gone | C |
| Had such a petticoat | G |
| - | |
| Then span I out of milkweeds fine | H |
| Fair stockings soft and long | I |
| And other things of quaint design | H |
| That unto maids belong | I |
| - | |
| And beads of amber and of pearl | J |
| About her neck I strung | K |
| And in the bronze of her thick hair | A |
| The purple grape I hung | K |
| - | |
| Then led her to a glassy spring | L |
| And bade her look and see | M |
| If any girl in all the world | N |
| Had such fine clothes as she | M |
