Salome Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAAAA CDCDEE| Proud panoply of fans and frankincense | A |
| Gold blare of trumpets flowered robes of state | B |
| Unnumbered symbols of magnificence | A |
| To lead Salome through the palace gate | B |
| Where loud the prophet of the Lord blasphemes | A |
| The red abominations of her race | A |
| And chides her for her flesh entangled dreams | A |
| and turns his back upon her painted face | A |
| - | |
| Thus do we turn from some red shadowed lust | C |
| That through the broken forests of the brain | D |
| Weaves silently with tentacles out thrust | C |
| Groping in darkness but for one in vain | D |
| For like a sliding sun the soul has fled | E |
| Leaving a princess and a vultured head | E |
