The Golden Gourd Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDE FG| What chance have snakes upon an asphalt road | A |
| When giant limousines go gliding by | B |
| Of courtesans resolved to gratify | B |
| The lust of lovers seeking new abode | A |
| I do not envy the unfriended toad | A |
| Nor airships falling from a marble sky | B |
| Nor mothers listening to their children cry | B |
| What chance have blades of grass on being mowed | A |
| - | |
| And yet the unmolested Sun rolls on | C |
| A ship of gold among the silver clouds | D |
| Or else a lady wrapped in silver shrouds | D |
| to mock the crescent moon's pale skeleton | E |
| - | |
| Which strengthens me to live with heart assured | F |
| For I have drunken from the golden gourd | G |
