A Woman Driving Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIJI KLKL| How she held up the horses' heads | A |
| Firm lipped with steady rein | B |
| Down that grim steep the coastguard treads | A |
| Till all was safe again | C |
| - | |
| With form erect and keen contour | D |
| She passed against the sea | E |
| And dipping into the chine's obscure | D |
| Was seen no more by me | E |
| - | |
| To others she appeared anew | F |
| At times of dusky light | G |
| But always so they told withdrew | F |
| From close and curious sight | G |
| - | |
| Some said her silent wheels would roll | H |
| Rutless on softest loam | I |
| And even that her steeds' footfall | J |
| Sank not upon the foam | I |
| - | |
| Where drives she now It may be where | K |
| No mortal horses are | L |
| But in a chariot of the air | K |
| Towards some radiant star | L |
