Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xix Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHI| I fled the booth with feelings as of Cain | A |
| Yet laughing at my own bewilderment | B |
| My cheeks had blushed till it was physical pain | A |
| And my eyes smarted Through my head there went | C |
| The little woman's last appealing word | D |
| Bidding me stop in tones that smote afresh | E |
| And 'twixt my finger and thumb there throbbed and stirred | D |
| The semblance of that monstrous pound of flesh | E |
| The knee that I had handled With it too | F |
| The jet beads of the little woman's skirt | G |
| Where I had held her left an impress new | F |
| And touched my conscience to a deeper hurt | G |
| I was ashamed of all with shame intense | H |
| My youth my frailty and my innocence | I |
