The Woman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABAACDEAAEEACFDG| So beautiful God himself quailed | A |
| at her approach the long body curved | A |
| like the horizon Why had he made | A |
| her so How would it be she said | A |
| leaning towards him if instead of | B |
| quarreling over it we divided it | A |
| between us You can have all the credit | A |
| for its invention if you will leave the ordering | C |
| of it to me He looked into her | D |
| eyes and saw far down the bones | E |
| of the generations that would navigate | A |
| by those great stars but the pull of it | A |
| was too much Yes he thought give me their minds' | E |
| tribute and what they do with their bodies | E |
| is not my concern He put his hand in his side | A |
| and drew out the thorn for the letting | C |
| of the ordained blood and touched her with | F |
| it Go he said They shall come to you for ever | D |
| with their desire and you shall bleed for them in return | G |
