Rhyme Scheme: AABCCDEDBFGBF HCIJKLMCSome who are uncertain compel me They fear | A |
The Ace of Spades They fear | A |
Loves offered suddenly turning from the mantelpiece | B |
Sweet with decision And they distrust | C |
The fireworks by the lakeside first the spuft | C |
Then the colored lights rising | D |
Tentative hesitant doubtful they consume | E |
Greedily Caesar at the prow returning | D |
Locked in the stone of his act and office | B |
While the brass band brightly bursts over the water | F |
They stand in the crowd lining the shore | G |
Aware of the water beneath Him They know it Their eyes | B |
Are haunted by water | F |

Disturb me compel me It is not true | H |
That no man is happy but that is not | C |
The sense which guides you If we are | I |
Unfinished we are unless hope is a bad dream | J |
You are exact You tug my sleeve | K |
Before I speak with a shadow's friendship | L |
And I remember that we who move | M |
Are moved by clouds that darken midnight | C |
