Cold-blooded Creatures Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA ABAB CDCD| Man the egregious egoist | A |
| In mystery the twig is bent | A |
| Imagines by some mental twist | A |
| That he alone is sentient | A |
| - | |
| Of the intolerable load | A |
| That on all living creatures lies | B |
| Nor stoops to pity in the toad | A |
| The speechless sorrow of his eyes | B |
| - | |
| He asks no questions of the snake | C |
| Nor plumbs the phosphorescent gloom | D |
| Where lidless fishes broad awake | C |
| Swim staring at a nightmare doom | D |
