Salvador Dali Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDECFG HAIJK LMNOPQR FIE| The face of the precipice is black with lovers | A |
| The sun above them is a bag of nails the spring's | B |
| First rivers hide among their hair | C |
| Goliath plunges his hand into the poisoned well | D |
| And bows his head and feels my feet walk through his brain | E |
| The children chasing butterflies turn round and see him there | C |
| With his hand in the well and my body growing from his head | F |
| And are afraid They drop their nets and walk into the wall like smoke | G |
| - | |
| The smooth plain with its mirrors listens to the cliff | H |
| Like a basilisk eating flowers | A |
| And the children lost in the shadows of the catacombs | I |
| Call to the mirrors for help | J |
| 'Strong bow of salt cutlass of memory | K |
| Write on my map the name of every river ' | - |
| - | |
| A flock of banners fight their way through the telescoped forest | L |
| And fly away like birds towards the sound of roasting meat | M |
| Sand falls into the boiling rivers through the telescopes' mouths | N |
| And forms clear drops of acid with petals of whirling flame | O |
| Heraldic animals wade through the asphyxia of planets | P |
| Butterflies burst from their skins and grow long tongues like plants | Q |
| The plants play games with a suit of mail like a cloud | R |
| - | |
| Mirrors write Goliath's name upon my forehead | F |
| While the children are killed in the smoke of the catacombs | I |
| And lovers float down from the cliffs like rain | E |
