The Portrait In The Rock Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIAJKLMBNOGPQ RDOSTUOh yes I knew him I spent years with him | A |
with his golden and stony substance | B |
he was a man who was tired | C |
in Paraguay he left his father and mother | D |
his sons his nephews | E |
his latest in laws | F |
his house his chickens | G |
and some half opened books | H |
They called him to the door | I |
When he opened it the police took him | A |
and they beat him up so much | J |
that he spat blood in France in Denmark | K |
in Spain in Italy moving about | L |
and so he died and I stopped seeing his face | M |
stopped hearing his profound silence | B |
then once on a night of storms | N |
with snow spreading | O |
a smooth cloak on the mountains | G |
on horseback there far off | P |
I looked and there was my friend | Q |
his face was formed in stone | R |
his profile defied the wild weather | D |
in his nose the wind was muffling | O |
the moaning of the persecuted | S |
There the exile came to ground | T |
Changed into stone he lives in his own country | U |
