Danse Russe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFGHIJGGKLMN OP

If I when my wife is sleepingA
and the baby and KathleenB
are sleepingA
and the sun is a flame white discC
in silken mistsD
above shining treesE
if I in my north roomF
dance naked grotesquelyG
before my mirrorH
waving my shirt round my headI
and singing softly to myselfJ
I am lonely lonelyG
I was born to be lonelyG
I am best soK
if I admire my arms my faceL
my shoulders flanks buttocksM
against the yellow drawn shadesN
-
who shall say I am notO
the happy genius of my householdP

William Carlos Williams
