Langueur [english] Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA BAAB CDD CEE| I am the Empire in the last of its decline | A |
| That sees the tall fair haired Barbarians pass the while | B |
| Composing indolent acrostics in a style | B |
| Of gold with languid sunshine dancing in each line | A |
| - | |
| The solitary soul is heart sick with a vile | B |
| Ennui Down yon they say War's torches bloody shine | A |
| Alas to be so faint of will one must resign | A |
| The chance of brave adventure in the splendid file | B |
| - | |
| Of death perchance Alas so lagging in desire | C |
| Ah all is drunk Bathyllus hast done laughing pray | D |
| Ah all is drunk all eaten Nothing more to say | D |
| - | |
| Alone a vapid verse one tosses in the fire | C |
| Alone a somewhat thievish slave neglecting one | E |
| Alone a vague disgust of all beneath the sun | E |
