The Black Vulture Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBA DCEDCE| Aloof within the day's enormous dome | A |
| He holds unshared the silence of the sky | B |
| Far down his bleak relentless eyes descry | C |
| The eagle's empire and the falcon's home | A |
| Far down the galleons of sunset roam | A |
| His hazards on the sea of morning lie | B |
| Serene he hears the broken tempest sigh | B |
| Where cold sierras gleam like scattered foam | A |
| - | |
| And least of all he holds the human swarm | D |
| Unwitting now that envious men prepare | C |
| To make their dream and its fulfilment one | E |
| When poised above the caldrons of the storm | D |
| Their hearts contemptuous of death shall dare | C |
| His roads between the thunder and the sun | E |
