Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: Xxxi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEDEDDD| The booths were shut The Fair was at an end | A |
| And the crowd gone with multitudinous feet | B |
| Noisily home or lingering still to spend | A |
| At Caf doors or at the turn of the street | B |
| In twos and threes its laughter with good night | C |
| All turned to silence Even my heart had peace | D |
| As self possessed and freed from its vain fright | C |
| I found myself once more upon the quays | D |
| I stopped before the theatre grown dark | E |
| With its extinguished lamps and blank repose | D |
| A scene of melancholy sad to mark | E |
| Made sadder too by the white moon which rose | D |
| Behind it virginal with vaporous wings | D |
| Aloof and careless of all earthly things | D |
