The Time Has Come For Us To Become Madmen In Your Chain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCEFGHCGIJAKLMNOP QRSTUVWSXYLThe time has come for us to become madmen in your chain to | A |
burst our bonds and become estranged from all | B |
To yield up our souls no more to bear the disgrace of such a | C |
soul to set fire to our house and run like fire to the tavern | D |
Until we ferment we shall not escape from this vat of the | C |
world how then shall we become intimate with the lip of that | E |
flagon and bowl | F |
Listen to the words from a madman do not suppose that we | G |
become true men until we die | H |
It is necessary that we should become more inverted than the | C |
tip of a comb in the top of the twisted tress of felicity | G |
Spread our wings and pinions like a tree in the orchard if like | I |
a seed we are to be scattered on this road of annihilation | J |
Though we are of stone we shall become like wax for you | A |
seal though we be candles we shall become a moth in the track | K |
of your light | L |
Though we are kings we shall travel straight as rocks for your | M |
sake that we may become blessed through your queen on this | N |
chessboard | O |
In the face of the mirror of love we must not breathe a word of | P |
ourselves we must become intimate with your treasure when | Q |
we are changed to waste | R |
Like the tale of the heart we must be without bread or ending | S |
that we may become dwellers in the heart of lovers like a tale | T |
If he acts like the seeker we shall attain to being sought if he acts | U |
the key we shall become all the wards of the lock | V |
If Mostafa does not make his way and couch in our hearts it is | W |
meet that we should lament and become like the Wailing | S |
Column | X |
No be silent for one must observe silence towards the watch | Y |
man when we go towards the pavilion by night | L |
