Supplication Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCAC DEEFDF GHHIGI| Be clement still and steep | A |
| Thy breasts in mandragore | B |
| And let thy hands a poppied vintage pour | B |
| Whenas we turn idolatrous | C |
| Fain of thy yielded bliss and given sleep | A |
| In nights calamitous | C |
| - | |
| Tender thou art and kind | D |
| Unto thy place we came | E |
| Through dolorous realms by roads of dust and flame | E |
| Our eyes in twilight sweetly lost | F |
| Are shut like poppy buds against the wind | D |
| From heavens of holocaust | F |
| - | |
| Before our feet depart | G |
| With hemlock fill the cup | H |
| Our hands unto thy laden urn bold up | H |
| With deadliest dwale bedew thy kiss | I |
| To leave a Stygian stillness in the heart | G |
| That begs no later bliss | I |
