Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Viii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| It was a booth no larger than the rest | A |
| No loftier fashioned and no more sublime | B |
| As poor a shrine as ever youth possessed | A |
| In which to worship truth revealed in time | B |
| Yet to my soul the mean remembrance clings | C |
| With all the folly of that far fair eve | D |
| And my pulse throbs with lost imaginings | C |
| And passion rises from its grave to grieve | D |
| Vain dreams brute images and over all | E |
| The shrill voiced dwarf its hierarch and priest | F |
| Vaunting its praise a pagan prince of Baal | E |
| It scared me as of some wild idol feast | F |
| The Booth of Beauty '' thus it was I read | G |
| Blazoned in scarlet letters overhead | G |
