In Thessaly Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCCC ABDEEE AABCCC| When I lay dead in Thessaly | A |
| The land was rife with sorcery | B |
| Fair witches howled to Hecate | C |
| Pouring the blood of rams by night | C |
| With many a necromantic rite | C |
| To draw me back for their delight | C |
| - | |
| But I lay dead in Thessaly | A |
| With ah my lust and wizardry | B |
| Somewhere the Golden Ass went by | D |
| To munch the rose and find again | E |
| The shape and manlihead of men | E |
| But in my grave I stirred not then | E |
| - | |
| And the black lote in Thessaly | A |
| Its juices dripped unceasingly | A |
| Above the rotting mouth of me | B |
| And Worm and mould and graveyard must | C |
| And roots of cypress darkly thrust | C |
| Transformed the dead to utter dust | C |
