Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: V Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHI| I had been an hour at Lyons My breath comes | A |
| Fast when I think of it An hour no more | B |
| I trod those streets and listened to the drums | A |
| The mirth the music and the city's roar | B |
| And found no sermon for me in her stones | C |
| It was the evening of St Martin's fair | D |
| And all the world its working bees and drones | C |
| Had gone out to the quays in the sweet air | D |
| To taste that thing more sweet to human breath | E |
| Its own mad laughter at its own mad kind | F |
| An hour of prayer '' I mused for men of faith '' | G |
| Yet all these worshippers were only blind | F |
| And I no whit less blind among them went | H |
| In search of pleasure for my punishment | I |
