Bedouin Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFFGGHHIJKK| O love is like an untamed steed | A |
| So hot of heart and wild of speed | A |
| And with fierce freedom so in love | B |
| The desert is not vast enough | C |
| With all its leagues of glimmering sands | D |
| To pasture it Ah that my hands | D |
| Were more than human in their strength | E |
| That my deft lariat at length | E |
| Might safely noose this splendid thing | F |
| That so defies all conquering | F |
| Ho but to see it whirl and reel | G |
| The sands spurt forward and to feel | G |
| The quivering tension of the thong | H |
| That throned me high with shriek and song | H |
| To grapple tufts of tossing mane | I |
| To spurn it to its feet again | J |
| And then sans saddle rein or bit | K |
| To lash the mad life out of it | K |
