Behold This Swarthy Face Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGDH| BEHOLD this swarthy face these gray eyes | A |
| This beard the white wool unclipt upon my neck | B |
| My brown hands and the silent manner of me without charm | C |
| Yet comes one a Manhattanese and ever at parting kisses me lightly | D |
| on the lips with robust love | E |
| And I on the crossing of the street or on the ship's deck give a | F |
| kiss in return | G |
| We observe that salute of American comrades land and sea | D |
| We are those two natural and nonchalant persons | H |
