Feasts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDEF GAGA HAHI| I drink the gall of skies in autumn tuberoses' | A |
| Sweet bitterness in your betrayals burning stream | B |
| I drink the gall of nights of crowded parties' noises | A |
| Of sobbing virgin verse and of a throbbing dream | B |
| - | |
| We fiends of studious fight a battle everlasting | C |
| Against our daily bread can't stand the sober mood | D |
| The troubled wind of nights is merely a toastmaster | E |
| Whose toasts as like as not will do no one much good | F |
| - | |
| Heredity and death are our guests at table | G |
| A quiet dawn will paint bright red the tops of trees | A |
| An anapaest like mice will on the bread plate scrabble | G |
| And Cinderella will rush in to change her dress | A |
| - | |
| The floors have all been swept and everything is dainty | H |
| And like a child's sweet kiss breathes quietly my verse | A |
| And Cinderella flees by cab on days of plenty | H |
| And on shanks' pony when the last small coin is lost | I |
