Eros Of Ebony Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DDEF GHII IJ

Sculptor of demons and of goddessesA
I chisel also an eidolon of loveB
in ebony adorning him with black rosesA
that bear the thorns of pain and sorrowC
-
His mouth and brows capriciousD
mingle their honey with a great bitternessD
upon his shoulder with tightening talonsE
there perches a hard eyed hawkF
-
Selling all my ancient idolsG
I worship the new god before his altarH
I bring the mythic fruits of distant landsI
and cast the loot of ocean se pulchresI
-
The god is blind and my oblationsI
have vainly hued his ebon heels with bloodJ
