The Ballet Of The Fifth Year Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCCDDEEFFGGHHWhere the sea gulls sleep or indeed where they fly | A |
Is a place of different traffic Although I | A |
Consider the fishing bay where I see them dip and curve | B |
And purely glide a place that weakens the nerve | B |
Of will and closes my eyes as they should not be | C |
They should burn like the street light all night quietly | C |
So that whatever is present will be known to me | C |
Nevertheless the gulls and the imagination | D |
Of where they sleep which comes to creation | D |
In strict shape and color from their dallying | E |
Their wings slowly and suddenly rallying | E |
Over up down the arabesque of descent | F |
Is an old act enacted my fabulous intent | F |
When I skated afraid of policemen five years old | G |
In the winter sunset sorrowful and cold | G |
Hardly attained to thought but old enough to know | H |
Such grace so self contained was the best escape to know | H |
