The Jongleur Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACADCAD| Last night I lay awake and heard the wind | A |
| That madman jongleur of the world of air | B |
| Making wild music now he seemed to fare | B |
| With harp and lute so intimately twinned | A |
| They were as one now on a drum he dinned | A |
| Now on a tabor now with blow and blare | B |
| Of sackbut and recorder everywhere | B |
| Shattered the night then on a sudden thinned | A |
| To bagpipe wailings as of maniac grief | C |
| That whined itself to sleep And then meseemed | A |
| Out in the darkness medi val dim | D |
| I saw him dancing like an autumn leaf | C |
| In tattered tunic while around him streamed | A |
| His lute's wild ribbons 'thwart the moon's low rim | D |
