Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xiii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| A second warning nor unheeded Yet | A |
| The thought appealed to me as no strange thing | B |
| Pure though I was that love impure had set | A |
| Its seal on that fair woman in her Spring | B |
| Her broken beauty did not mar her grace | C |
| In form or spirit Nay it rather moved | D |
| It seemed a natural thing for that gay face | C |
| It should have known and suffered and been loved | E |
| It kindled in me too to view it thus | F |
| A mood of daring which was more than mine | G |
| And made my shamefaced heart leap valorous | F |
| And fired its courage to a zeal divine | G |
| All this in one short instant as I gazed | H |
| Into her eyes admiring yet amazed | H |
