The Taste For Nothingness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA C DEEF D GHHG G| Dull soul to whom the battle once was sweet | A |
| Hope who had spurred your ardour and your fame | B |
| Will no more ride you Lie down without shame | B |
| Old horse who makes his way on stumbling feet | A |
| - | |
| Give up my heart and sleep your stolid sleep | C |
| - | |
| For you old rover spirit sadly spent | D |
| Love is no longer fair nor is dispute | E |
| Farewell to brass alarms sighs of the flute | E |
| Pleasures give up a heart grown impotent | F |
| - | |
| The Spring once wonderful has lost its scent | D |
| - | |
| And Time engulfs me in its steady tide | G |
| As blizzards cover corpses with their snow | H |
| And poised on high I watch the world below | H |
| No longer looking for a place to hide | G |
| - | |
| Avalanche sweep me off within your slide | G |
