An Asphodel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEA FGFHIAJKL MNMOA

O dear sweet rosyA
unattainable desireB
how sad no wayC
to change the madD
cultivated asphodel theE
visible realityA
-
and skin's appallingF
petals how inspiredG
to be so Iying in the livingF
room drunk nakedH
and dreaming in the absenceI
of electricityA
over and over eating the low rootJ
of the asphodelK
gray fateL
-
rolling in generationM
on the flowery couchN
as on a bank in ArdenM
my only rose tonite's the treatO
of my own nudityA
