Magi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABA CDE FGD GHG ICH JKC| The abstracts hover like dull angels | A |
| Nothing so vulgar as a nose or an eye | B |
| Bossing the ethereal blanks of their face ovals | A |
| - | |
| Their whiteness bears no relation to laundry | C |
| Snow chalk or suchlike They're | D |
| The real thing all right the Good the True | E |
| - | |
| Salutary and pure as boiled water | F |
| Loveless as the multiplication table | G |
| While the child smiles into thin air | D |
| - | |
| Six months in the world and she is able | G |
| To rock on all fours like a padded hammock | H |
| For her the heavy notion of Evil | G |
| - | |
| Attending her cost less than a bellyache | I |
| And Love the mother of milk no theory | C |
| They mistake their star these papery godfolk | H |
| - | |
| They want the crib of some lamp headed Plato | J |
| Let them astound his heart with their merit | K |
| What girl ever flourished in such company | C |
