Firesong Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDE FGHGIFH JGBKLMN| Born green we were | A |
| to this flawed garden | B |
| but in speckled thickets warted as a toad | C |
| spitefully skulks our warden | B |
| fixing his snare | D |
| which hauls down buck cock trout till all most fair | D |
| is tricked to faulter in split blood | E |
| - | |
| Now our whole task's to hack | F |
| some angel shape worth wearing | G |
| from his crabbed midden where all's wrought so awry | H |
| that no straight inquiring | G |
| could unlock | I |
| shrewd catch silting our each bright act back | F |
| to unmade mud cloaked by sour sky | H |
| - | |
| Sweet salts warped stem | J |
| of weeds we tackle towards way's rank ending | G |
| scorched by red sun | B |
| we heft globed flint racked in veins' barbed bindings | K |
| brave love dream | L |
| not of staunching such strict flame but come | M |
| lean to my wound burn on burn on | N |
