Her Praise Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDEDEAFGHGIJIJ| She is foremost of those that I would hear praised | A |
| I have gone about the house gone up and down | B |
| As a man does who has published a new book | C |
| Or a young girl dressed out in her new gown | B |
| And though I have turned the talk by hook or crook | C |
| Until her praise should be the uppermost theme | D |
| A woman spoke of some new tale she had read | E |
| A man confusedly in a half dream | D |
| As though some other name ran in his head | E |
| She is foremost of those that I would hear praised | A |
| I will talk no more of books or the long war | F |
| But walk by the dry thorn until I have found | G |
| Some beggar sheltering from the wind and there | H |
| Manage the talk until her name come round | G |
| If there be rags enough he will know her name | I |
| And be well pleased remembering it for in the old days | J |
| Though she had young men's praise and old men's blame | I |
| Among the poor both old and young gave her praise | J |
