The Face Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKLKThere is a face I know too well | A |
A face I dread to see | B |
So vain it is so eloquent | C |
Of all futility | B |

It is a human face that hides | D |
A monkey soul within | E |
That bangs about that beats a gong | F |
That makes a horrid din | E |

Sometimes the monkey soul will sprawl | G |
Athwart the human eyes | H |
And peering forth will flesh its pads | I |
And utter social lies | H |

So wretched is this face so vain | J |
So empty and forlorn | K |
You well may say that better far | L |
This face had not been born | K |
