For My Daughter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGFGHIJJ| Looking into my daughter s eyes I read | A |
| Beneath the innocence of morning flesh | B |
| Concealed hintings of death she does not heed | C |
| Coldest of winds have blown this hair and mesh | B |
| Of seaweed snarled these miniatures of hands | D |
| The night s slow poison tolerant and bland | E |
| Has moved her blood Parched years that I have seen | F |
| That may be hers appear foul lingering | G |
| Death in certain war the slim legs green | F |
| Or fed on hate she relishes the sting | G |
| Of others agony perhaps the cruel | H |
| Bride of a syphilitic or a fool | I |
| These speculations sour in the sun | J |
| I have no daughter I desire none | J |
