You Are Disappointed? You Thought... Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGC AHII| You are disappointed You thought that in peace we | A |
| Would part to the sound of a requiem a swan song | B |
| You counted on grief with your pupils dilated | C |
| Their invincibility trying in tears on | D |
| - | |
| At the mass from the vaults then the murals had crumbled | E |
| By the play on the lips of Sebastian shaken | F |
| But tonight to my hatred all seems drawn out dawdling | G |
| What a pity there is not a whip for my hatred | C |
| - | |
| In darkness collecting its wits instantaneously | A |
| It knew without thinking it would plough it over | H |
| That it's time that a suicide would be superfluous | I |
| That this too would have been of a tortoise like slowness | I |
