Prelude To An Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGC HEIG HGJI GKLM NMIO PQER IRGC| Do not enforce the tired wolf | A |
| Dragging his infected wound homeward | B |
| To sit tonight with the warm children | C |
| Naming the pretty kings of France | D |
| - | |
| The images of the invaded mind | E |
| Being as the monsters in the dreams | F |
| Of your most brief enchanted headful | G |
| Suppose a miracle of confusion | C |
| - | |
| That dreamed and undreamt become each other | H |
| And mix the night and day of your mind | E |
| And it does not matter your twice crying | I |
| From mouth unbeautied against the pillow | G |
| - | |
| To avert the gun of the same old soldier | H |
| For cry cock crow or the iron bell | G |
| Can crack the sleep sense of outrage | J |
| Annihilate phantoms who were nothing | I |
| - | |
| But now by our perverse supposal | G |
| There is a drift of fog on your mornings | K |
| You in your peignoir dainty at your orange cup | L |
| Feel poising round the sunny room | M |
| - | |
| Invisible evil deprived and bold | N |
| All day the clock will metronome | M |
| Your gallant fear the needles clicking | I |
| The heels detonating the stair's cavern | O |
| - | |
| Freshening the water in the blue bowls | P |
| For the buck berries with not all your love | Q |
| You shall he listening for the low wind | E |
| The warning sibilance of pines | R |
| - | |
| You like a waning moon and I accusing | I |
| Our too banded Eumenides | R |
| While you pronounce Noes wanderingly | G |
| And smooth the heads of the hungry children | C |
