The Amphora Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED DFDFGHGH| In a gay jar upon his shoulder | A |
| The slave morosely carries wine | B |
| His road is rough with bog and boulder | A |
| And in the sky no starlights shine | B |
| Into the dark with stabbing glances | C |
| He peers his careful steps are slow | D |
| Lest on his breast as he advances | E |
| The staining wine should overflow | D |
| - | |
| I bear my amphora of sorrow | D |
| Long brimming with the wine it hides | F |
| There poison for each waiting morrow | D |
| Ferments within the painted sides | F |
| I follow secret ways and hidden | G |
| To guard the evil vessel lest | H |
| A careless hand should pour unbidden | G |
| Its bitterness upon my breast | H |
