Malade Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFG HIJEKG GGLEMThe sick grapes on the chair by the bed lie prone at the window | A |
The tassel of the blind swings gently tapping the pane | B |
As a little wind comes in | C |
The room is the hollow rind of a fruit a gourd | D |
Scooped out and dry where a spider | E |
Folded in its legs as in a bed | F |
Lies on the dust watching where is nothing to see but twilight and walls | G |
- | |
And if the day outside were mine What is the day | H |
But a grey cave with great grey spider cloths hanging | I |
Low from the roof and the wet dust falling softly from them | J |
Over the wet dark rocks the houses and over | E |
The spiders with white faces that scuttle on the floor of the cave | K |
I am choking with creeping grey confinedness | G |
- | |
But somewhere birds beside a lake of light spread wings | G |
Larger than the largest fans and rise in a stream upwards | G |
And upwards on the sunlight that rains invisible | L |
So that the birds are like one wafted feather | E |
Small and ecstatic suspended over a vast spread country | M |
