The Paltry Nude Starts On A Spring Voyage Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGDHB IJKLB MNOPM QRSBM| But not on a shell she starts | A |
| Archaic for the sea | B |
| But on the first found weed | C |
| She scuds the glitters | D |
| Noiselessly like one more wave | E |
| - | |
| She too is discontent | F |
| And would have purple stuff upon her arms | G |
| Tired of the salty harbors | D |
| Eager for the brine and bellowing | H |
| Of the high interiors of the sea | B |
| - | |
| The wind speeds her | I |
| Blowing upon her hands | J |
| And watery back | K |
| She touches the clouds where she goes | L |
| In the circle of her traverse of the sea | B |
| - | |
| Yet this is meagre play | M |
| In the scurry and water shine | N |
| As her heels foam | O |
| Not as when the goldener nude | P |
| Of a later day | M |
| - | |
| Will go like the center of sea green pomp | Q |
| In an intenser calm | R |
| Scullion of fate | S |
| Across the spick torrent ceaselessly | B |
| Upon her irretrievable way | M |
