On A Picture Of A Black Centaur By Edmund Dulac Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGHGIJIJ| Your hooves have stamped at the black margin of the wood | A |
| Even where horrible green parrots call and swing | B |
| My works are all stamped down into the sultry mud | C |
| I knew that horse play knew it for a murderous thing | B |
| What wholesome sun has ripened is wholesome food to eat | D |
| And that alone yet I being driven half insane | E |
| Because of some green wing gathered old mummy wheat | D |
| In the mad abstract dark and ground it grain by grain | E |
| And after baked it slowly in an oven but now | F |
| I bring full flavoured wine out of a barrel found | G |
| Where seven Ephesian topers slept and never knew | H |
| When Alexander's empire passed they slept so sound | G |
| Stretch out your limbs and sleep a long Saturnian sleep | I |
| I have loved you better than my soul for all my words | J |
| And there is none so fit to keep a watch and keep | I |
| Unwearied eyes upon those horrible green birds | J |
