Terminal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGGFHH| Riding home from credulous blue domes | A |
| the dreamer reins his waking appetite | B |
| in panic at the crop of catacombs | A |
| sprung up like plague of toadstools overnight | B |
| refectories where he reveled have become | C |
| the holstery of worms rapacious blades | D |
| who weave within the skeleton's white womb | E |
| a caviare decay of rich brocades | D |
| - | |
| Turning the tables of this grave gourmet | F |
| the fiendish butler saunters in and serves | G |
| for feast the sweetest meat of hell's chef d' uvres | G |
| his own pale bride upon a flaming tray | F |
| parsleyed with elegies she lies in state | H |
| waiting for his grace to consecrate | H |
