All That I Owe The Fellows Of The Grave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH IJKLMNOPQRCJ MGSATUVWVVAll that I owe the fellows of the grave | A |
And all the dead bequeathed from pale estates | B |
Lies in the fortuned bone the flask of blood | C |
Like senna stirs along the ravaged roots | D |
O all I owe is all the flesh inherits | E |
My fathers' loves that pull upon my nerves | F |
My sisters tears that sing upon my head | G |
My brothers' blood that salts my open wounds | H |
- | |
Heir to the scalding veins that hold love's drop | I |
My fallen filled that had the hint of death | J |
Heir to the telling senses that alone | K |
Acquaint the flesh with a remembered itch | L |
I round this heritage as rounds the sun | M |
His winy sky and as the candles moon | N |
Cast light upon my weather I am heir | O |
To women who have twisted their last smile | P |
To children who were suckled on a plague | Q |
To young adorers dying on a kiss | R |
All such disease I doctor in my blood | C |
And all such love's a shrub sown in the breath | J |
- | |
Then look my eyes upon this bonehead fortune | M |
And browse upon the postures of the dead | G |
All night and day I eye the ragged globe | S |
Through periscopes rightsighted from the grave | A |
All night and day I wander in these same | T |
Wax clothes that wax upon the ageing ribs | U |
All night my fortune slumbers in its sheet | V |
Then look my heart upon the scarlet trove | W |
And look my grain upon the falling wheat | V |
All night my fortune slumbers in its sheet | V |
