Tormented Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE EGHG| I will not reason wrestle here with you | A |
| Though you pursue and worry me about | B |
| As well put forth my swarthy arm to stop | C |
| The wild wind howling darkly mad without | B |
| - | |
| The night is yours for revels day will light | D |
| I will not fight you bold and tigerish | E |
| For I am weak while you are gaining strength | F |
| Peace cease tormenting me to have your wish | E |
| - | |
| But when you're filled and sated with the flesh | E |
| I shall go swiftly to the silver stream | G |
| To cleanse my body for the spirit's sake | H |
| And sun my limbs and close my eyes to dream | G |
