Verlaine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDE CDDAvid of life and love insatiate vagabond | A |
With quest too furious for the graal he would have won | B |
He flung himself at the eternal sky as one | B |
Wrenching his chains but impotent to burst the bond | A |
- | |
Yet under the revolt the revel the despond | A |
What pools of innocence what crystal benison | B |
As through a riven mist that glowers in the sun | B |
A stretch of God's blue calm glassed in a virgin pond | A |
- | |
Prowler of obscene streets that riot reek along | C |
And aisles with incense numb and gardens mad with rose | D |
Monastic cells and dreams of dim brocaded lawns | E |
- | |
Death which has set the calm of Time upon his song | C |
Surely upon his soul has kissed the same repose | D |
In some fair heaven the Christ has set apart for Fauns | D |
