Iron Wine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCBBDEFGBH| The ore in the crucible is pungent smelling like acrid wine | A |
| It is dusky red like the ebb of poppies | B |
| And purple like the blood of elderberries | B |
| Surely it is a strong wine juice distilled of the fierce iron | C |
| I am drunk of its fumes | B |
| I feel its fiery flux | B |
| Diffusing permeating | D |
| Working some strange alchemy | E |
| So that I turn aside from the goodly board | F |
| So that I look askance upon the common cup | G |
| And from the mouths of crucibles | B |
| Suck forth the acrid sap | H |
