Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xlii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHGIJJ| And so we went our way yes hand in hand | A |
| Like two lost children in some magic wood | B |
| Baffled and baffling with enchanter's wand | C |
| The various beasts that crossed us and withstood | B |
| Each step was an experience Every mood | D |
| Of that fair woman a fresh gospelling | E |
| Which spoke aloud to me and stirred my blood | F |
| To a new faith I knew not with what sting | E |
| One thing alone I knew or cared to know | G |
| Her strange companionship thus strangely won | H |
| The past the future all of weal or woe | G |
| In my old life was gone for ever gone | I |
| And still to this I clung as one who clings | J |
| To hope's last hencoop in the wreck of things | J |
