For Osip Mandelstam Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEFGHIJKLMNAnd the town is frozen solid in a vice | A |
Trees walls snow beneath a glass | B |
Over crystal on slippery tracks of ice | A |
the painted sleighs and I together pass | B |
And over St Peters there are poplars crows | C |
theres a pale green dome there that glows | C |
dim in the sun shrouded dust | D |
The field of heroes lingers in my thought | E |
Kulikovos barbarian battleground | F |
The frozen poplars like glasses for a toast | G |
clash now more noisily overhead | H |
As though it was our wedding and the crowd | I |
were drinking to our health and happiness | J |
But Fear and the Muse take turns to guard | K |
the room where the exiled poet is banished | L |
and the night marching at full pace | M |
of the coming dawn has no knowledge | N |
