Debacle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB ADAD EFGF HCIC JKLK MNON PQRSThe trees in trouble because of autumn | A |
And scarlet berries falling from the bush | B |
And all the myriad houseless seeds | C |
Loosing hold in the wind's insistent push | B |
- | |
Moan softly with autumnal parturition | A |
Poor obscure fruits extruded out of light | D |
Into the world of shadow carried down | A |
Between the bitter knees of the after night | D |
- | |
Bushed in an uncouth ardour coiled at core | E |
With a knot of life that only bliss can unravel | F |
Fall all the fruits most bitterly into earth | G |
Bitterly into corrosion bitterly travel | F |
- | |
What is it internecine that is locked | H |
By very fierceness into a quiescence | C |
Within the rage We shall not know till it burst | I |
Out of corrosion into new florescence | C |
- | |
Nay but how tortured is the frightful seed | J |
The spark intense within it all without | K |
Mordant corrosion gnashing and champing hard | L |
For ruin on the naked small redoubt | K |
- | |
Bitter to fold the issue and make no sally | M |
To have the mystery but not go forth | N |
To bear but retaliate nothing given to save | O |
The spark in storms of corrosion as seeds from the north | N |
- | |
The sharper more horrid the pressure the harder the heart | P |
That saves the blue grain of eternal fire | Q |
Within its quick committed to hold and wait | R |
And suffer unheeding only forbidden to expire | S |
