Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECFEMagnificent the Beast Look in the eyes | A |
Of the fell tiger towering on his prey | B |
Beautiful in his power to pounce and slay | B |
And effortless in action He denies | A |
All but himself He gloats on his weak prize | A |
Roaring the anger of wild breath at bay | B |
Blank anger like an element whose way | B |
Is mere annihilation Terrible eyes | A |

But there is one more to be feared who can | C |
Escape the prison of his own wrath whose will | D |
Lives beyond life who smiles with quiet lips | E |

Not only uncowed but irresistible | F |
When the cause fires him to the finger tips | E |
