Wine And Grief. (translations From The Hebrew Poets Of Medaeval Spain.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHGIJKLM N| With heavy groans did I approach my friends | A |
| Heavy as though the mountains I would move | B |
| The flagon they were murdering they poured | C |
| Into the cup wild eyed the grape's red blood | D |
| No they killed not they breathed new life therein | E |
| Then too in fiery rapture burned my veins | F |
| But soon the fumes had fled In vain in vain | G |
| Ye cannot fill the breach of the rent heart | H |
| Ye crave a sensuous joy ye strive in vain | G |
| To cheat with flames of passion my despair | I |
| So when the sinking sun draws near to night | J |
| The sky's bright cheeks fade 'neath those tresses black | K |
| Ye laugh but silently the soul weeps on | L |
| Ye cannot stifle her sincere lament | M |
