Fire's Reflection Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDEF BGHI J| Perhaps it's no more than the fire's reflection | A |
| on some piece of gleaming furniture | B |
| that the child remembers so much later | B |
| like a revelation | A |
| - | |
| And if in his later life one day | C |
| wounds him like so many others | D |
| it's because he mistook some risk | E |
| or other for a promise | F |
| - | |
| Let's not forget the music either | B |
| that soon had hauled him | G |
| toward absence complicated | H |
| by an overflowing heart | I |
