Incarnate Devil Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBD EFGHIJ BBKLBM| Incarnate devil in a talking snake | A |
| The central plains of Asia in his garden | B |
| In shaping time the circle stung awake | A |
| In shapes of sin forked out the bearded apple | C |
| And God walked there who was a fiddling warden | B |
| And played down pardon from the heavens' hill | D |
| - | |
| When we were strangers to the guided seas | E |
| A handmade moon half holy in a cloud | F |
| The wisemen tell me that the garden gods | G |
| Twined good and evil on an eastern tree | H |
| And when the moon rose windily it was | I |
| Black as the beast and paler than the cross | J |
| - | |
| We in our Eden knew the secret guardian | B |
| In sacred waters that no frost could harden | B |
| And in the mighty mornings of the earth | K |
| Hell in a horn of sulphur and the cloven myth | L |
| All heaven in the midnight of the sun | B |
| A serpent fiddled in the shaping time | M |
