Trapped Dingo Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBCBDAB EFGHIGHEI| So here twisted in steel and spoiled with red | A |
| your sunlight hide smelling of death and fear | B |
| they crushed out your throat the terrible song | C |
| you sang in the dark ranges With what crying | D |
| you mourned him the drinker of blood the swift death bringer | B |
| who ran with you so many a night and the night was long | C |
| I heard you desperate poet Did you hear | B |
| my silent voice take up the cry replying | D |
| Achilles is overcome and Hector dead | A |
| and clay stops many a warrior's mouth wild singer | B |
| - | |
| Voice from the hills and the river drunken with rain | E |
| for your lament the long night was too brief | F |
| Hurling your woes at the moon that old cleaned bone | G |
| till the white shorn mobs of stars on the hill of the sky | H |
| huddled and trembled you tolled him the rebel one | I |
| Insane Andromache pacing your towers alone | G |
| death ends the verse you chanted here you lie | H |
| The lover the maker of elegies is slain | E |
| and veiled with blood her body's stealthy sun | I |
