Escape Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| When foxes eat the last gold grape | A |
| And the last white antelope is killed | B |
| I shall stop fighting and escape | A |
| Into a little house I'll build | B |
| - | |
| But first I'll shrink to fairy size | C |
| With a whisper no one understands | D |
| Making blind moons of all your eyes | C |
| And muddy roads of all your hands | D |
| - | |
| And you may grope for me in vain | E |
| In hollows under the mangrove root | F |
| Or where in apple scented rain | E |
| The silver wasp nests hang like fruit | F |
