A Drawing In The Tate Gallery: Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCDCCEF GAHCIJK CLMACBNCC| The Man Who Taught Blake Painting in His Dreams | A |
| - | |
| is still around somewhere Survived the smoke | B |
| and fires the footsteps melting into stone | C |
| the city dark within its haze of time | D |
| Endured somehow that face both epicene | C |
| and bold with innocence though now withdrawn | C |
| diminished paled like some further star | E |
| to sit behind a stall near London Bridge | F |
| - | |
| Yet lasted since for painting lessons Blake | G |
| in turn taught him to sing and in those dreams | A |
| they labored over angels burning tigers | H |
| bade their host prophetic spears cast down | C |
| and joyously to praise the Lamb | I |
| and found | J |
| themselves still dreaming charmed outside their dream | K |
| - | |
| Blake sailed away for on each cobblestone | C |
| or casement glimmered visions of that realm | L |
| and madly through the streets he danced and sang | M |
| The man who taught him painting in his dreams | A |
| was left alone | C |
| Around him coiled the smoke | B |
| he watches through today from park bench pub | N |
| or moving bus listening for that strain | C |
| alone empowered to dream him back again | C |
