In A Cathedral City Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABA BCB DED EFE FGFG HThese people have not heard your name | A |
No loungers in this placid place | B |
Have helped to bruit your beauty's fame | A |
- | |
The grey Cathedral towards whose face | B |
Bend eyes untold has met not yours | C |
Your shade has never swept its base | B |
- | |
Your form has never darked its doors | D |
Nor have your faultless feet once thrown | E |
A pensive pit pat on its floors | D |
- | |
Along the street to maids well known | E |
Blithe lovers hum their tender airs | F |
But in your praise voice not a tone | E |
- | |
Since nought bespeaks you here or bears | F |
As I your imprint through and through | G |
Here might I rest till my heart shares | F |
The spot's unconsciousness of you | G |
