Miss Loo Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGGHHIDJJKKJJLMAA| When thin strewn memory I look through | A |
| I see most clearly poor Miss Loo | A |
| Her tabby cat her cage of birds | B |
| Her nose her hair her muffled words | B |
| And how she'd open her green eyes | C |
| As if in some immense surprise | C |
| Whenever as we sat at tea | D |
| She made some small remark to me | D |
| - | |
| It's always drowsy summer when | E |
| From out the past she comes again | E |
| The westering sunshine in a pool | F |
| Floats in her parlour still and cool | F |
| While the slim bird its lean wires shakes | G |
| As into piercing song it breaks | G |
| Till Peter's pale green eyes ajar | H |
| Dream wake wake dream in one brief bar | H |
| And I am sitting dull and shy | I |
| And she with gaze of vacancy | D |
| And large hands folded on the tray | J |
| Musing the afternoon away | J |
| Her satin bosom heaving slow | K |
| With sighs that softly ebb and flow | K |
| And her plain face in such dismay | J |
| It seems unkind to look her way | J |
| Until all cheerful back will come | L |
| Her cheerful gleaming spirit home | M |
| And one would think that poor Miss Loo | A |
| Asked nothing else if she had you | A |
