Durer: Innsbruck, 1495 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKE| I had often cowled in the slumbrous heavy air | A |
| Closed my inanimate lids to find it real | B |
| As I knew it would be the colourful spires | C |
| And painted roofs the high snows glimpsed at the back | D |
| All reversed in the quiet reflecting waters | E |
| Not knowing than that Durer perceived it too | F |
| Now I find that once more I have shrunk | G |
| To an interloper robber of dead men s dreams | H |
| I had read in books that art is not easy | I |
| But no one warned that the mind repeats | J |
| In its ignorance the vision of others I am still | K |
| The black swan of trespass on alien waters | E |
