The Tresses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBA CDDDE FGGGF| When the air was damp | A |
| It made my curls hang slack | B |
| As they kissed my neck and back | B |
| While I footed the salt aired track | B |
| I loved to tramp | A |
| - | |
| When it was dry | C |
| They would roll up crisp and tight | D |
| As I went on in the light | D |
| Of the sun which my own sprite | D |
| Seemed to outvie | E |
| - | |
| Now I am old | F |
| And have not one gay curl | G |
| As I had when a girl | G |
| For dampness to unfurl | G |
| Or sun uphold | F |
