The Sense Of The Sleight-of-hand Man Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH IJKLMNOMPPQ| One's grand flights one's Sunday baths | A |
| One's tootings at the weddings of the soul | B |
| Occur as they occur So bluish clouds | C |
| Occurred above the empty house and the leaves | D |
| Of the rhododendrons rattled their gold | E |
| As if someone lived there Such floods of white | F |
| Came bursting from the clouds So the wind | G |
| Threw its contorted strength around the sky | H |
| - | |
| Could you have said the bluejay suddenly | I |
| Would swoop to earth It is a wheel the rays | J |
| Around the sun The wheel survives the myths | K |
| The fire eye in the clouds survives the gods | L |
| To think of a dove with an eye of grenadine | M |
| And pines that are cornets so it occurs | N |
| And a little island full of geese and stars | O |
| It may be the ignorant man alone | M |
| Has any chance to mate his life with life | P |
| That is the sensual pearly spuse the life | P |
| That is fluent in even the wintriest bronze | Q |
