Nacogdoches Speaks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| I was The Gateway Here they came and passed | A |
| The homespun centaurs with their arms of steel | B |
| And taut heart strings wild wills who thought to deal | B |
| Bare handed with jade Fortune tracked at last | A |
| Out of her silken lairs into the vast | A |
| Of a Man s world They passed but still I feel | B |
| The dint of hoof the print of booted heel | B |
| Like prick of spurs the shadows that they cast | A |
| I do not vaunt their valors or their crimes | C |
| I tell my secrets only to some lover | D |
| Some taster of spilled wine and scattered musk | E |
| But I have not forgotten and sometimes | C |
| The things that I remember rise and hover | D |
| A sharper perfume in some April dusk | E |
