The Bull Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACB CDAED FGHIG| In the olive darkness of the sally trees | A |
| silently moved the air from night to day | B |
| The summer grass was thick with honey daisies | A |
| where he a curled god a red Jupiter | C |
| heavy with power among his women lay | B |
| - | |
| But summer's bubble sound of sweet creek water | C |
| dwindles and is silent the seeding grasses | D |
| grow harsh and wind and frost in the black sallies | A |
| roughen the sleek haired slopes Seek him out then | E |
| the angry god betrayed whose godhead passes | D |
| - | |
| and down the hillsides drive him from his mob | F |
| What enemy steals his strength what rival steals | G |
| his mastered cows His thunders powerless | H |
| the red storm of his body shrunk with fear | I |
| runs the great bull the dogs upon his heels | G |
