Joy Supreme Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFG HBIBJKLK MBKBNOPO| The birds are pirates of her notes | A |
| The blossoms steal her face's light | B |
| The stars in ambush lie all day | C |
| To take her glances for the night | B |
| Her voice can shame rain pelted leaves | D |
| Young robin has no notes as sweet | E |
| In autumn when the air is still | F |
| And all the other birds are mute | G |
| - | |
| When I set eyes on ripe red plums | H |
| That seem a sin and shame to bite | B |
| Such are her lips which I would kiss | I |
| And still would keep before my sight | B |
| When I behold proud gossamer | J |
| Make silent billows in the air | K |
| Then think I of her head's fine stuff | L |
| Finer than gossamer's I swear | K |
| - | |
| The miser has his joy with gold | M |
| Beneath his pillow in the night | B |
| My head shall lie on soft warm hair | K |
| And miser's know not that delight | B |
| Captains that own their ships can boast | N |
| Their joy to feel the rolling brine | O |
| But I shall lie near her and feel | P |
| Her soft warm bosom swell on mine | O |
