Shame Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEFE GEHE IJIK LMLM| May be in my previous a being | A |
| I ve cut the throats of my Mom and Dad | B |
| If in this one Lord of all the living | A |
| I have been doomed to suffering like that | C |
| - | |
| If I call for dogs of mine aloud | D |
| Or just try my own horse to see | E |
| Not obeying all my signs and shouts | F |
| They would promptly run away from me | E |
| - | |
| If I come to the enchanting foam | G |
| Of my native and well known sea | E |
| Then the sea would blacken from the woe | H |
| And fast go back away from me | E |
| - | |
| My day looks like looks a man extinguished | I |
| And my work like somebody s else strife | J |
| Mine is only pine of undistinguished | I |
| Non platonic and unworthy love | K |
| - | |
| Let the deathly languor be in action | L |
| I ll not stop to wait the time when | M |
| In my future version of creation | L |
| I ll become a gallant knight again | M |
