Mistinguette Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FGFGHIHI JKHLHLHe was my one and only love | A |
My world was mirror for his face | B |
We were as close as hand and glove | A |
Until he came with smiling grace | B |
To say 'We must be wise my dear | C |
You are the idol of today | D |
But I too plan a proud career | C |
Let's kiss and go our way ' | E |
- | |
And then he soared to sudden fame | F |
And even queens applauded him | G |
A halo glorified his name | F |
That dust of time may never dim | G |
And me I toured golden Brazil | H |
Yet as gay mobs were cheering me | I |
The sun seemed black the brilliance chill | H |
My triumph mockery | I |
- | |
Today if I should say 'Hello ' | - |
He'd say 'How are you ' I'd say 'Fine ' | - |
Yet never shall he see the woe | J |
The wanness of my frail decline | K |
I love him now and always will | H |
Oh may his star be long to set | L |
My Maurice is an idol still | H |
What wreaths for Mistinguette | L |
