Relics Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIHJ K KL| In that stone head obscenity | A |
| Has been preserved a thousand years | B |
| A bible leaf of families | C |
| Have shuddered at the pointed ears | B |
| - | |
| The sword that hangs upon the wall | D |
| Is notched the length of its long blade | E |
| And children at the village school | F |
| Dream of the trusses it has mowed | G |
| - | |
| Close against the lichened tower | H |
| Still lives a witch Around her head | I |
| She wears a shawl and white as flour | H |
| Her lips count every step she treads | J |
| - | |
| But when the dusk born lovers stand | K |
| The figure sobs 'Oh where's my soul ' | - |
| The sword sighs for the long dead hand | K |
| The old hag huddles from the owl | L |
