A Woman's Charms Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGGHHIIJJKK DDLLMMNNDDOO| My purse is yours Sweet Heart for I | A |
| Can count no coins with you close by | A |
| I scorn like sailors them when they | B |
| Have drawn on shore their deep sea pay | B |
| Only my thoughts I value now | C |
| Which like the simple glowworms throw | D |
| Their beams to greet thee bravely Love | E |
| Their glorious light in Heaven above | E |
| Since I have felt thy waves of light | F |
| Beating against my soul the sight | F |
| Of gems from Afric's continent | G |
| Move me to no great wonderment | G |
| Since I Sweet Heart have known thine hair | H |
| The fur of ermine sable bear | H |
| Or silver fox for me can keep | I |
| No more to praise than common sheep | I |
| Though ten Isaiahs' souls were mine | J |
| They could not sing such charms as thine | J |
| Two little hands that show with pride | K |
| Two timid little feet that hide | K |
| Two eyes no dark Senoras show | D |
| Their burning like in Mexico | D |
| Two coral gates wherein is shown | L |
| Your queen of charms on a white throne | L |
| Your queen of charms the lovely smile | M |
| That on its white throne could beguile | M |
| The mastiff from his gates in hell | N |
| Who by no whine or bark could tell | N |
| His masters what thing made him go | D |
| And countless other charms I know | D |
| October's hedge has far less hues | O |
| Than thou hast charms from which to choose | O |
