Say, What Shall We Dance? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDEE FGHIJJKLKLMMA| Say what shall we dance | A |
| Shall we bound along the moonlight plain | B |
| To music of Italy Greece or Spain | B |
| Say what shall we dance | A |
| Shall we like those who rove | C |
| Thro' bright Grenada's grove | C |
| To the light Bolero's measures move | D |
| Or choose the Guaracia's languishing lay | E |
| And thus to its sound die away | E |
| - | |
| Strike the gay chords | F |
| Let us hear each strain from every shore | G |
| That music haunts or young feet wander o'er | H |
| Hark 'tis the light march to whose measured time | I |
| The Polish lady by her lover led | J |
| Delights thro' gay saloons with step untried to tread | J |
| Or sweeter still thro' moonlight walks | K |
| Whose shadows serve to hide | L |
| The blush that's raised by who talks | K |
| Of love the while by her side | L |
| Then comes the smooth waltz to whose floating sound | M |
| Like dreams we go gliding around | M |
| Say which shall we dance which shall we dance | A |
