Capriccio Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEFFGHIJKLMNOPQR| Here is the way I shall die | A |
| It's dark And it has rained | B |
| But you can no longer detect the imprint of the clouds | C |
| Which up there cover the sky in soft silk | D |
| All streets are flowing black mirrors | E |
| Over the piled up houses where streetlights | E |
| Strings of pearls hang shining | F |
| And high above thousands of stars are flying | F |
| Silver insects around the world | G |
| I am among them Somewhere | H |
| And sunken I watch very seriously somewhat pale | I |
| But rather thoughtful about the refined heavenly blue legs of a | J |
| lady | K |
| While an auto cuts me to pieces so that my head rolls like a red | L |
| marble | M |
| At her feet | N |
| She is surprised And swears like a lady And kicks it | O |
| Haughtily with the dainty heel | P |
| Of her little shoe | Q |
| Into the gutter | R |
