The Eyes Of Beauty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHG HII| You are a sky of autumn pale and rose | A |
| But all the sea of sadness in my blood | B |
| Surges and ebbing leaves my lips morose | C |
| Salt with the memory of the bitter flood | B |
| - | |
| In vain your hand glides my faint bosom o'er | D |
| That which you seek beloved is desecrate | E |
| By woman's tooth and talon ah no more | F |
| Seek in me for a heart which those dogs ate | E |
| - | |
| It is a ruin where the jackals rest | G |
| And rend and tear and glut themselves and slay | H |
| A perfume swims about your naked breast | G |
| - | |
| Beauty hard scourge of spirits have your way | H |
| With flame like eyes that at bright feasts have flared | I |
| Burn up these tatters that the beasts have spared | I |
