V.r. Lang Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHCI JKLMN OFPQR| You are so serious as if | A |
| a glacier spoke in your ear | B |
| or you had to walk through | C |
| the great gate of Kiev | D |
| to get to the living room | E |
| - | |
| I worry about this because I | F |
| love you As if it weren't grotesque | G |
| enough that we live in hydrogen | H |
| and breathe like atomizers you | C |
| have to think I'm a great architect | I |
| - | |
| and you float regally by on your | J |
| incessant escalator calm a jungle queen | K |
| Thinking it a steam shovel Looking | L |
| a little uneasy But you are yourself | M |
| again yanking silver beads off your neck | N |
| - | |
| Remember the Russian Easter Overture | O |
| is full of bunnies Be always high | F |
| full of regard and honor and lanolin Oh | P |
| ride horseback in pink linen be happy | Q |
| and ride with your beads on because it rains | R |
