Poetry- KEEP OFF THE GRASS By: Oswald Mbuyieseni Mtshali

The grass is a green mat
trimmed with gladioli
red like flames in a furnace.

The park bench, hallowed,
holds the loiterer listening
to the chant of the fountain
showering holy water on a congregation
of Pigeons.

Then madam walks her Pekinese
bathed and powdered and perfumed.

He sniffs at the face of the 'Keep off' sign
with a nose as cold as frozen fish
and salutes it with a hind paw
leaving it weeping in anger and shame.

' -  o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way!   and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness,   to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the rhyme scheme of "an open boat" is abcb abab abba aabc

In this excerpt from "dover beach" by matthew arnold, which two lines or sets of lines suggest that the speaker has undergone a loss of faith? the sea of faith was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. but now i only hear its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, retreating, to the breath of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear and naked shingles of the world. ah, love, let us be true to one another! for the world, which seems to lie before us like a land of dreams, so various, so beautiful, so new, hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, nor certitude, nor peace, nor for pain; and we are here as on a darkling plain swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, where ignorant armies clash by night.
