Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xlv Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGHHII| I followed dumb and shrinking like a thief | A |
| Close in her shadow from the women's guess | B |
| Yet ruthlessly betrayed for my cheeks' grief | A |
| From head to foot in the tall pier glasses | C |
| My vagabond attire my coat all rags | D |
| My tattered plaid stained with the summer's dust | E |
| The sash which bound my waist all gaps and jags | D |
| With gaiters frayed and such sad shoes as must | E |
| Have served Ulysses at his journey's close | F |
| All these I saw revealed to my disgrace | G |
| My hat still crowned with its last Alpine rose | H |
| And what she had called my John the Baptist's face'' | H |
| Red with confusion and the rage of youth | I |
| I saw it all the whole remorseless truth | I |
