Destruction Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEFG HIJ KLJ| The Fiend is at my side without a rest | A |
| He swirls around me like a subtle breeze | B |
| I swallow him and burning fills my breast | A |
| And calls me to desire's shameful needs | C |
| - | |
| Knowing my love of Art he may select | D |
| A woman's form most perfect most corrupt | E |
| And under sanctimonious pretext | F |
| Bring to my lips the potion of her lust | G |
| - | |
| Thus does he lead me far from sight of God | H |
| Broken and gasping out into the broad | I |
| And wasted plains of Ennui deep and still | J |
| - | |
| Then throws before my staring eyes some gowns | K |
| And bloody garments stained by open wounds | L |
| And dripping engines of Destruction's will | J |
