Back-view - To D. F. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCCDC| I watched you saunter down the sand | A |
| Serene and large the golden weather | B |
| Flowed radiant round your peacock feather | B |
| And glistered from your jewelled hand | A |
| Your tawny hair turned strand on strand | A |
| And bound with blue ribands together | B |
| Streaked the rough tartan green like heather | B |
| That round your lissome shoulder spanned | A |
| Your grace was quick my sense to seize | C |
| The quaint looped hat the twisted tresses | D |
| The close drawn scarf and under these | C |
| The flowing flapping draperies | C |
| My thought an outline still caresses | D |
| Enchanting comic Japanese | C |
