Variations On A Theme By Joyce Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADA EAEFAE AAAAAA| The war is in words and the wood is the world | A |
| That turns beneath our rootless feet | B |
| the vines that reach alive and snarled | C |
| Across the path where the sand is swirled | A |
| Twist in the night The light lies flat | D |
| The war is in words and the wood is the world | A |
| - | |
| The rain is ruin and our ruin rides | E |
| The swiftest winds the wood is whorled | A |
| And turned and smoothed by the turning tides | E |
| There is rain in the woods slow rain that breeds | F |
| The war in the words The wood is the world | A |
| This rain is ruin and our ruin rides | E |
| - | |
| The war is in words and the wood is the world | A |
| Sourceless and seized and forever filled | A |
| With green vine twisting on wood more gnarled | A |
| Than dead men's hands The vines are curled | A |
| Around these branches crushed and killed | A |
| The war is in words and the wood is the world | A |
