Philip And Phoebe Ware Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BBCC DDEEFFGGHH| Who is that woman Philip standing there | A |
| Before the mirror doing up her hair | A |
| - | |
| You're dreaming Phoebe or the morning light | B |
| Mixing and mingling with the dying night | B |
| Makes shapes out of the darkness and you see | C |
| Some dream remembered phantasy maybe | C |
| - | |
| Yet it grows clearer with the growing day | D |
| And in the cold dawn light her hair is grey | D |
| Her lifted arms are naught but bone her hands | E |
| White withered claws that fumble as she stands | E |
| Trying to pin that wisp into its place | F |
| O Philip I must look upon her face | F |
| There in the mirror Nay but I will rise | G |
| And peep over her shoulder Oh the eyes | G |
| That burn out from that face of skin and bone | H |
| Searching my very marrow are my own | H |
