Azrael's Count Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDEFAAAGHG IJHBK KALIAM HHLG| Lo The Wild Cow of the Desert her yeanling estrayed from her | A |
| Lost in the wind plaited sand dunes athirst in the maze of them | B |
| Hot foot she follows those foot prints the thrice tangled ways of them | B |
| Her soul is shut save to one thing the love quest consuming her | A |
| Fearless she lows past the camp our fires affright her not | C |
| Ranges she close to the to the tethered ones the mares by the lances held | D |
| Noses she softly apart the veil in the women's tent | E |
| Next withdrawn under moonlight a shadow afar off | F |
| Fades Ere men cry quot Hold her fast darkness recovers her | A |
| She the all crazed and forlorn when the dogs threaten her | A |
| Only a side tossed horn as though a fly troubled her | A |
| Shows she hath heard till a lance in the heart of her quivereth | G |
| Lo from that carcass aheap where speeds the soul of it | H |
| Where is the tryst it must keep Who is her pandar Death | G |
| - | |
| Men I dismiss to the Mercy greet me not willingly | I |
| Crying quot When seekest Thou me first Are not my kin unslain | J |
| Shrinking aside from the Sword edge blinking the glare of it | H |
| Shrinking the chin in the neck bone How shall that profit them | B |
| Yet among women a thousand few meet me otherwise | K |
| - | |
| Yet among women a thousand one comes to me mistress wise | K |
| Arms open breasts open mouth open hot is her need on her | A |
| Crying quot Ho Servant aquit me the bound by Love's promises | L |
| Haste Thou He Waits I would go Handle me lustily | I |
| Lo her eyes stare past my wings as things unbeheld by her | A |
| Lo her lips summoning part I am not whom she calls | M |
| - | |
| Lo My sword sinks and returns At no time she heedeth it | H |
| More than the dust of a journey her garments brushed clear of it | H |
| Lo Ere the blood gush has ceased forward her soul rushes | L |
| She is away to her tryst Who is her pandar Death | G |
