Andromeda Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| The smooth worn coin and threadbare classic phrase | A |
| Of Grecian myths that did beguile my youth | B |
| Beguile me not as in the olden days | A |
| I think more grief and beauty dwell with truth | B |
| Andromeda in fetters by the sea | C |
| Star pale with anguish till young Perseus came | D |
| Less moves me with her suffering than she | C |
| The slim girl figure fettered to dark shame | D |
| That nightly haunts the park there like a shade | E |
| Trailing her wretchedness from street to street | F |
| See where she passes neither wife nor maid | E |
| How all mere fiction crumbles at her feet | F |
| Here is woe's self and not the mask of woe | G |
| A legend's shadow shall not move you so | G |
