The Panther Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFEG HIHJ| His vision from the constantly passing bars | A |
| has grown so weary that it cannot hold | B |
| anything else It seems to him there are | C |
| a thousand bars and behind the bars no world | D |
| - | |
| As he paces in cramped circles over and over | E |
| the movement of his powerful soft strides | F |
| is like a ritual dance around a center | E |
| in which a mighty will stands paralyzed | G |
| - | |
| Only at times the curtain of the pupils | H |
| lifts quietly An image enters in | I |
| rushes down through the tensed arrested muscles | H |
| plunges into the heart and is gone | J |
