Here A Riddle Has Drawn A Strange Nailmark Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIDI| Here a riddle has drawn a strange nailmark To sleep now | A |
| I'll reread understand with the light of the sun | B |
| But until I am wakened to touch the beloved | C |
| As I do has been given to none | B |
| - | |
| How I touched you So touched were you even by the copper | D |
| Of my lips as an audience is touched by a play | E |
| And the kiss was like summer it lingered and lingered | F |
| Only later the thunderstorm came | G |
| - | |
| And I drank in long draughts like the birds half unconscious | H |
| The stars trickle slowly through the throat to the crop | I |
| While the nightingales roll up their eyes in a shudder | D |
| From the firmament draining the night drop by drop | I |
