Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xvii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGFGHH| I touched that knee She did not show surprise | A |
| And the earth had not opened at our feet | B |
| She did not even laugh Her foolish eyes | A |
| Twinkled a moment in her cheeks then set | C |
| Like fog bound stars for ever from my sight | D |
| And at a signal from the little woman | E |
| Who clung to me still a chorus left and right | D |
| Of laughter rose Homeric and inhuman | E |
| Drowning all further sense in one wild roar | F |
| I heard the spotted girl with leopard lips | G |
| Complain that she was hungry as before | F |
| And all the world was merged in an eclipse | G |
| Darkening the air around and overhead | H |
| And then I broke away and turned and fled | H |
