The Jongleur Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACADCADLast 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 |
