Barmaid Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHH| Though if you ask her name she says Elise | A |
| Being plain Elizabeth e'en let it pass | B |
| And own that if her aspirates take their ease | C |
| She ever makes a point in washing glass | B |
| Handling the engine turning taps for tots | D |
| And countering change and scorning what men say | E |
| Of posing as a dove among the pots | D |
| Nor often gives her dignity away | E |
| Her head's a work of art and if her eyes | F |
| Be tired and ignorant she has a waist | G |
| Cheaply the Mode she shadows and she tries | F |
| From penny novels to amend her taste | G |
| And having mopped the zinc for certain years | H |
| And faced the gas she fades and disappears | H |
