Eros Of Ebony Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DDEF GHII IJ| Sculptor of demons and of goddesses | A |
| I chisel also an eidolon of love | B |
| in ebony adorning him with black roses | A |
| that bear the thorns of pain and sorrow | C |
| - | |
| His mouth and brows capricious | D |
| mingle their honey with a great bitterness | D |
| upon his shoulder with tightening talons | E |
| there perches a hard eyed hawk | F |
| - | |
| Selling all my ancient idols | G |
| I worship the new god before his altar | H |
| I bring the mythic fruits of distant lands | I |
| and cast the loot of ocean se pulchres | I |
| - | |
| The god is blind and my oblations | I |
| have vainly hued his ebon heels with blood | J |
