Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xl Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHH| She went on talking like a running stream | A |
| Without more reason or more pause or stay | B |
| Than to gather breath and then pursue her whim | C |
| Just where it led her tender sad or gay | B |
| Her moods seemed all alike to her But soon | D |
| With a little shudder for the wind was chill | E |
| And we had lingered on there in the moon | D |
| She bade me follow and I bowed my will | E |
| The torrent of her words had drowned in me | F |
| What humour of resistance there had been | G |
| And the last sense of danger ceased to be | F |
| In the first joy of yielding to such sin | G |
| There is no pleasure in the world so sweet | H |
| As being wise to fall at folly's feet | H |
