A Woman Homer Sung Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEE FGFFGH IBJJBKKIf any man drew near | A |
When I was young | B |
I thought 'He holds her dear ' | C |
And shook with hate and fear | A |
But O 'twas bitter wrong | D |
If he could pass her by | E |
With an indifferent eye | E |
- | |
Whereon I wrote and wrought | F |
And now being grey | G |
I dream that I have brought | F |
To such a pitch my thought | F |
That coming time can say | G |
'He shadowed in a glass | H |
What thing her body was ' | - |
- | |
For she had fiery blood | I |
When I was young | B |
And trod so sweetly proud | J |
As 'twere upon a cloud | J |
A woman Homer sung | B |
That life and letters seem | K |
But an heroic dream | K |
