It dropped so low--in my Regard--
I heard it hit the Ground--
And go to pieces on the Stones
At bottom of my Mind--
--Dickinson
Slant rhymes can be feminine (two-syllable, second syllable unstressed) also:
WHEN
cold December
Froze to grisamber
The jangling bells on the sweet rose-trees--
Then fading slow
And furred is the snow
As the almond's sweet husk--
And smelling like musk.
--Edith Sitwell
