Giraffe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEFG HIJK LMNO MPAC| Today I see your glance is especially sad | A |
| And your arms embracing your knees especially thin | B |
| Listen far far away on the Lake of Chad | A |
| Wanders a gentle giraffe | C |
| - | |
| He is endowed with slender grace and bliss | D |
| And his hide adorned with a magical design | E |
| Which the moonlight alone shattering and rocking | F |
| On the wide wet of the lake dares to rival | G |
| - | |
| From afar he resembles the colored sails of a ship | H |
| And his gait is smooth as the joyful flight of a bird | I |
| I know that the earth will witness many wonders | J |
| When at sunset he hides in a marble grotto | K |
| - | |
| I could tell merry tales of mysterious lands | L |
| Of a black maiden a young chief's passion | M |
| But you have too long inhaled the heavy mist | N |
| You will believe in nothing but the rain | O |
| - | |
| And how can I tell you about a tropical garden | M |
| Slender palms the scent of inconceivable herbs | P |
| Are you crying Listen Far off on the Lake of Chad | A |
| Wanders a gentle giraffe | C |
