On A Bust Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDE| A 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 |
