To Madame Jumel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACC DEDEDFF GHGHGII| Of all the wind blown dust of faces fair | A |
| Had I a god's re animating breath | B |
| Thee like a perfumed torch in the dim air | A |
| Lethean and the eyeless halls of death | B |
| Would I relume the cresset of thine hair | A |
| Furiously bright should stream across the gloom | C |
| And thy deep violet eyes again should bloom | C |
| - | |
| Methinks that but a pinch of thy wild dust | D |
| Blown back to flame would set our world on fire | E |
| Thy face amid our timid counsels thrust | D |
| Would light us back to glory and desire | E |
| And swords flash forth that now ignobly rust | D |
| Maenad and Muse upon thy lips of flame | F |
| Madness too wise might kiss a clod to fame | F |
| - | |
| Like musk the charm of thee in the gray mould | G |
| That lies on by gone traffickings of state | H |
| Transformed a moment by that head of gold | G |
| Touching the paltry hour with splendid Fate | H |
| To write the Constitution 'twere a cold | G |
| Dusty and bloomless immortality | I |
| Without that last wild dying thought of thee | I |
