The Playmate Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDB EEFF GGHH IIJJ| She is not Folly that I know | A |
| Her steadfast eyelids tell me so | A |
| When at the hour the lights divide | B |
| She steals as summonsed to my side | B |
| - | |
| When finger on the pursed lip | C |
| In secret mirthful fellowship | C |
| She heralding new framed delights | D |
| Breathes quot This shall be a Night of Nights quot | B |
| - | |
| Then out of Time and out of Space | E |
| Is built an Hour and a Place | E |
| Where all an earnest baffled Earth | F |
| Blunders and trips to make us mirth | F |
| - | |
| Whence from the trivial flux of Things | G |
| Rise inconceived miscarryings | G |
| Outrageous but immortal shown | H |
| Of Her great love to me alone | H |
| - | |
| She is not Wisdom but maybe | I |
| Wiser than all the Norns is She | I |
| And more than Wisdom I prefer | J |
| To wait on Her to wait on Her | J |
