A Wardrobe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHIHIAJAJ EAKA| I SAID 'The dark deed matters nought | A |
| And this green gown becomes her well | B |
| For phrase and rhyme oft hide the thought | A |
| As pearls are hid 'twixt shell and shell | B |
| 'My Lady Lyric go your way | C |
| Dance daintily around the globe | D |
| Nor mind what carping critics say | C |
| Nor whence you got your shining robe ' | E |
| I have a wardrobe quaintly hung | F |
| With brave brocade and gleaming silk | G |
| Plumed hats and collars richly strung | F |
| With gems outgiving fire and milk | G |
| No thief may raid its rare contents | H |
| No years decay nor moth devour | I |
| It is not lavender that scents | H |
| The air nor is it any flower | I |
| Full fifty poets day and night | A |
| In mirth and pain and dark despair | J |
| Sat weaving for the world's delight | A |
| The wondrous fabrics shining there | J |
| 'My peasant maid shall seem a queen ' | E |
| I said 'if she be rich arrayed' | A |
| And in another's cloak of green | K |
| I dressed the shoulders of my maid | A |
