Lovelocks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCA DEFFD GHIIG| I watched the Lady Caroline | A |
| Bind up her dark and beauteous hair | B |
| Her face was rosy in the glass | C |
| And 'twixt the coils her hands would pass | C |
| White in the candleshine | A |
| - | |
| Her bottles on the table lay | D |
| Stoppered yet sweet of violet | E |
| Her image in the mirror stooped | F |
| To view those locks as lightly looped | F |
| As cherry boughs in May | D |
| - | |
| The snowy night lay dim without | G |
| I heard the Waits their sweet song sing | H |
| The window smouldered keen with frost | I |
| Yet still she twisted sleeked and tossed | I |
| Her beauteous hair about | G |

Write your comment about Lovelocks poem by Walter De La Mare
Paul Schlitz: One of Walter De La mare's best and the best poem IMHO in Walter De La mare's initial volume of verse Songs of Childhood ( which I think he published under a pseudonym Walter Ramal) . One of my all time favorite poems. It is a fantasy of a beautiful woman in an old house on a snowy night. The onlooker, is all of us. It creates a hundred images in one's mind that cannot possibly by articulated. This poem means so much more than I can possibly express
