Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFHII| She was a little woman dressed in black | A |
| Who stood on tiptoe with a childish air | B |
| Her face and figure hidden in a sacque | A |
| All but her eyes and forehead and dark hair | B |
| Her brow was pale but it was lit with light | C |
| And mirth flashed out of it it seemed in rays | D |
| A childish face but wise with woman's wit | E |
| And something too pathetic in its gaze | D |
| In the bare dusk of that unseemly place | F |
| I noted all and this besides a scar | G |
| Which on her cheek had left a paler trace | F |
| It seemed to tell its tale of love and war | H |
| That little scar Doubt whispered of this one | I |
| Boy as I was she had not lived a nun | I |
