On A Bust Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEA giant as we hoped in truth a dwarf | A |
A barrel of slop that shines on Lethe's wharf' | A |
Which at first seemed a vessel with sweet wine | B |
For thirsty lips So down the swift decline | B |
You went through sloven spirit craven heart | C |
And cynic indolence And here the art | C |
Of molding clay has caught you for the nonce | D |
And made your shame our shame Your head in bronze | E |
