Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFE GHIGO Sorrow cruel fellowship | A |
O Priestess in the vaults of Death | B |
O sweet and bitter in a breath | B |
What whispers from thy lying lip | A |
The stars she whispers blindly run | C |
A web is wov'n across the sky | D |
From out waste places comes a cry | D |
And murmurs from the dying sun | C |
And all the phantom Nature stands | E |
With all the music in her tone | F |
A hollow echo of my own | F |
A hollow form with empty hands | E |
- | |
And shall I take a thing so blind | G |
Embrace her as my natural good | H |
Or crush her like a vice of blood | I |
Upon the threshold of the mind | G |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
