Metho Drinker Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBCECA FGHDGHIIF| Under the death of winter's leaves he lies | A |
| who cried to Nothing and the terrible night | B |
| to be his home and bread 'O take from me | C |
| the weight and waterfall ceaseless Time | D |
| that batters down my weakness the knives of light | B |
| whose thrust I cannot turn the cruelty | C |
| of human eyes that dare not touch nor pity ' | E |
| Under the worn leaves of the winter city | C |
| safe in the house of Nothing now he lies | A |
| - | |
| His white and burning girl his woman of fire | F |
| creeps to his heart and sets a candle there | G |
| to melt away the flesh that hides from bone | H |
| to eat the nerve that tethers him in time | D |
| He will lie warm until the bone is bare | G |
| and on a dead dark moon he wakes alone | H |
| It was for Death he took her death is but this | I |
| and yet he is uneasy under her kiss | I |
| and winces from that acid of her desire | F |
