Perfect Woman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFF GGHHIIJKLL MMNNOOPPAA

SHE was a phantom of delightA
When first she gleam'd upon my sightA
A lovely apparition sentB
To be a moment's ornamentC
Her eyes as stars of twilight fairD
Like twilight's too her dusky hairD
But all things else about her drawnE
From May time and the cheerful dawnE
A dancing shape an image gayF
To haunt to startle and waylayF
-
I saw her upon nearer viewG
A Spirit yet a Woman tooG
Her household motions light and freeH
And steps of virgin libertyH
A countenance in which did meetI
Sweet records promises as sweetI
A creature not too bright or goodJ
For human nature's daily foodK
For transient sorrows simple wilesL
Praise blame love kisses tears and smilesL
-
And now I see with eye sereneM
The very pulse of the machineM
A being breathing thoughtful breathN
A traveller between life and deathN
The reason firm the temperate willO
Endurance foresight strength and skillO
A perfect Woman nobly plann'dP
To warn to comfort and commandP
And yet a Spirit still and brightA
With something of angelic lightA

William Wordsworth
