Waikiki Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEFAA| Warm perfumes like a breath from vine and tree | A |
| Drift down the darkness Plangent hidden from eyes | B |
| Somewhere an 'eukaleli' thrills and cries | B |
| And stabs with pain the night's brown savagery | A |
| And dark scents whisper and dim waves creep to me | A |
| Gleam like a woman's hair stretch out and rise | B |
| And new stars burn into the ancient skies | B |
| Over the murmurous soft Hawaian sea | A |
| - | |
| And I recall lose grasp forget again | C |
| And still remember a tale I have heard or known | D |
| An empty tale of idleness and pain | E |
| Of two that loved or did not love and one | F |
| Whose perplexed heart did evil foolishly | A |
| A long while since and by some other sea | A |
