The Ram Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCDE FGHI JKLMAn interpretation of a Jewish face | A |
- | |
You've inherited the great ram's features | B |
The black wooled one that bred with Jacob's herds | C |
You found yourself enough in the desert | D |
On the thistleweed that bent in the wind | E |
- | |
When the shepherd called you fine animal | F |
You came skipping your high heart pounding | G |
You pranced and pawed the ground with your hooves | H |
Which now is your tendency to make jokes | I |
- | |
But when the warrior with his steel honor | J |
Climbed his horse and poked out his lance | K |
You timidly forced yourself back into your fold | L |
And baaed there quietly and without hope | M |
