Heap Cassia, Sandal-buds And Stripes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDD EFFFFGGG| Heap Cassia sandal buds and stripes | A |
| Of labdanum and aloe balls | B |
| Smeared with dull nard an Indian wipes | A |
| From out her hair such balsam falls | B |
| Down sea side mountain pedestals | C |
| From tree tops where tired winds are fain | D |
| Spent with the vast and howling main | D |
| To treasure half their island gain | D |
| - | |
| And strew faint sweetness from some old | E |
| Egyptian's fine worm eaten shroud | F |
| Which breaks to dust when once unrolled | F |
| Or shredded perfume like a cloud | F |
| From closet long to quiet vowed | F |
| With mothed and dropping arras hung | G |
| Mouldering her lute and books among | G |
| As when a queen long dead was young | G |
