The Song-throe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAEEA FGGFHHBy thine own tears thy song must tears beget | A |
O Singer Magic mirror thou hast none | B |
Except thy manifest heart and save thine own | C |
Anguish or ardour else no amulet | D |
Cisterned in Pride verse is the feathery jet | A |
Of soulless air flung fountains nay more dry | E |
Than the Dead Sea for throats that thirst and sigh | E |
That song o'er which no singer's lids grew wet | A |
- | |
The Song god He the Sun god is no slave | F |
Of thine thy Hunter he who for thy soul | G |
Fledges his shaft to no august control | G |
Of thy skilled hand his quivered store he gave | F |
But if thy lips' loud cry leap to his smart | H |
The inspir'd recoil shall pierce thy brother's heart | H |
