Success Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| I think if you had loved me when I wanted | A |
| If I'd looked up one day and seen your eyes | B |
| And found my wild sick blasphemous prayer granted | A |
| And your brown face that's full of pity and wise | B |
| Flushed suddenly the white godhead in new fear | C |
| Intolerably so struggling and so shamed | D |
| Most holy and far if you'd come all too near | C |
| If earth had seen Earth's lordliest wild limbs tamed | D |
| Shaken and trapped and shivering for MY touch | E |
| Myself should I have slain or that foul you | F |
| But this the strange gods who had given so much | E |
| To have seen and known you this they might not do | F |
| One last shame's spared me one black word's unspoken | G |
| And I'm alone and you have not awoken | G |
