Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Vi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHI| The Lyons fair In truth it was a Heaven | A |
| For idlers' eyes a feast of curious things | B |
| Swings roundabouts and shows the Champions Seven | A |
| Dramas of battles and the deaths of kings | B |
| The whole Place d'Armes grown white as if with snow | C |
| With canvas booths arrayed in triple lines | D |
| And jugglers lions snakes from Mexico | C |
| Dancers on tight ropes clowns and columbines | D |
| I went among them all with grave intent | E |
| I too to find it may be some delight | F |
| I was a boy and knew not what life meant | E |
| Nor what the pleasures were men seek in it | G |
| Only I knew that mingling with that throng | H |
| I was a stranger a strange world among | I |
