Amidst The Flowers A Jug Of Wine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIFJKDKAmidst the flowers a jug of wine | A |
I pour alone lacking companionship | B |
So raising the cup I invite the Moon | C |
Then turn to my shadow which makes three of us | D |
Because the Moon does not know how to drink | E |
My shadow merely follows the movement of my body | F |
The moon has brought the shadow to keep me company a while | G |
The practice of mirth should keep pace with spring | H |
I start a song and the moon begins to reel | I |
I rise and dance and the shadow moves grotesquely | F |
While I'm still conscious let's rejoice with one another | J |
After I'm drunk let each one go his way | K |
Let us bind ourselves for ever for passionless journeyings | D |
Let us swear to meet again far in the Milky Way | K |
