Verlaine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADBBA EFGEFG| Why do you dig like long clawed scavengers | A |
| To touch the covered corpse of him that fled | B |
| The uplands for the fens and rioted | C |
| Like a sick satyr with doom's worshippers | A |
| Come let the grass grow there and leave his verse | D |
| To tell the story of the life he led | B |
| Let the man go let the dead flesh be dead | B |
| And let the worms be its biographers | A |
| - | |
| Song sloughs away the sin to find redress | E |
| In art's complete remembrance nothing clings | F |
| For long but laurel to the stricken brow | G |
| That felt the Muse's finger nothing less | E |
| Than hell's fulfilment of the end of things | F |
| Can blot the star that shines on Paris now | G |
