Epidermal Macabre Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEAAFFAAGG| Indelicate is he who loathes | A |
| The aspect of his fleshy clothes | A |
| The flying fabric stitched on bone | B |
| The vesture of the skeleton | C |
| The garment neither fur nor hair | D |
| The cloak of evil and despair | D |
| The veil long violated by | E |
| Caresses of the hand and eye | E |
| Yet such is my unseemliness | A |
| I hate my epidermal dress | A |
| The savage blood's obscenity | F |
| The rags of my anatomy | F |
| And willingly would I dispense | A |
| With false accouterments of sense | A |
| To sleep immodestly a most | G |
| Incarnadine and carnal ghost | G |
