The Sunshade Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCB ADEED AFGHF AIJJK L| Ah it's the skeleton of a lady's sunshade | A |
| Here at my feet in the hard rock's chink | B |
| Merely a naked sheaf of wires | C |
| Twenty years have gone with their livers and diers | C |
| Since it was silked in its white or pink | B |
| - | |
| Noonshine riddles the ribs of the sunshade | A |
| No more a screen from the weakest ray | D |
| Nothing to tell us the hue of its dyes | E |
| Nothing but rusty bones as it lies | E |
| In its coffin of stone unseen till to day | D |
| - | |
| Where is the woman who carried that sun shade | A |
| Up and down this seaside place | F |
| Little thumb standing against its stem | G |
| Thoughts perhaps bent on a love stratagem | H |
| Softening yet more the already soft face | F |
| - | |
| Is the fair woman who carried that sunshade | A |
| A skeleton just as her property is | I |
| Laid in the chink that none may scan | J |
| And does she regret if regret dust can | J |
| The vain things thought when she flourished this | K |
