Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Ix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFDD| I stopped I listened and I entered in | A |
| With half a dozen more that sight to see | B |
| The Booth of Beauty '' 'twas a name of sin | A |
| Which seemed to promise a new mystery | B |
| There was a crowd already in the place | C |
| And 'twixt me and the stage now darkly hid | D |
| The gathering evening had come down apace | C |
| And all was dim within and overspread | D |
| I know not by what instinct or mute proof | E |
| Of Providence it was but this is true | F |
| Even as I stepped 'neath that ignoble roof | E |
| A prescience warned me there of portents new | F |
| And a voice spoke with no uncertain sound | D |
| Warning me back as from ungodly ground | D |
