Malade Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFG HIJEKG GGLEM| The 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 |
