Playboy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFG HIHIJKJK LMLMNOHO| I greet the challenge of the dawn | A |
| With weary bleary eyes | B |
| Into the sky so ashen wan | C |
| I wait the sun to rise | B |
| Then in the morning's holy hush | D |
| With heart of shame I hear | E |
| A robin from a lilac bush | F |
| Pipe pure and clear | G |
| - | |
| All night in dive and dicing den | H |
| With wantons and with wine | I |
| I've squandered on wild witless men | H |
| The fortune that was mine | I |
| The gold my father fought to save | J |
| In folly I have spent | K |
| And now to fill a pauper's grave | J |
| My steps are bent | K |
| - | |
| See how the sky is amber bright | L |
| The thrushes thrill their glee | M |
| The dew drops sparkle with delight | L |
| And yonder smiles the sea | M |
| Oh let me plunge to drown the pain | N |
| Of love and faith forgot | O |
| Then purged I may return again | H |
| Or I may not | O |
