Full Orchestra Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEFE| MY words are the poor footmen of your pride | A |
| Of what you cry you trumpets each to each | B |
| With mouths of air my speech is the dog speech | B |
| Of yours the Roman tongue but mine is tied | A |
| By harsher bridles dumb with breath and bone | C |
| Vainly it mocks the dingo strings the stops | D |
| The pear tree flying in the flute with drops | D |
| Of music quenched and scattered by your own | C |
| So serving men who run all night with wine | E |
| And whet their ears and crouch upon the floor | F |
| Sigh broken words no man has heard before | F |
| Or since but ravished in the candleshine | E |
| Between the push and shutting of a door | F |
| From the great table where their masters dine | E |
