To Wilhelmina Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA BCCB BDDB E| A white face drooping on a bending neck | A |
| A tube rose that with heavy petal curves | B |
| Her stem a foam bell on a wave that swerves | B |
| Back from the undulating vessel's deck | A |
| - | |
| From out the whitest cloud of summer steals | B |
| The wildest lightning from this face of thine | C |
| Thy soul a fire of heaven warm and fine | C |
| In marvellous flashes its fair self reveals | B |
| - | |
| As when one gazes from the summer sea | B |
| On some far gossamer cloud with straining eye | D |
| Fearing to see it vanish in the sky | D |
| So floating wandering Cloud Soul I watch thee | B |
