The Poet As Hero Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEFGG| You've heard me scornful harsh and discontented | A |
| Mocking and loathing War you've asked me why | B |
| Of my old silly sweetness I've repented | A |
| My ecstasies changed to an ugly cry | B |
| - | |
| You are aware that once I sought the Grail | C |
| Riding in armour bright serene and strong | D |
| And it was told that through my infant wail | C |
| There rose immortal semblances of song | D |
| - | |
| But now I've said good bye to Galahad | E |
| And am no more the knight of dreams and show | F |
| For lust and senseless hatred make me glad | E |
| And my killed friends are with me where I go | F |
| Wound for red wound I burn to smite their wrongs | G |
| And there is absolution in my songs | G |
