John Ford: Vi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDEFDEF| HEW hard the marble from the mountain s heart | A |
| Where hardest night holds fast in iron gloom | B |
| Gems brighter than an April dawn in bloom | B |
| That his Memnoniah likeness thence may start | A |
| Revealed whose hand with high funereal art | A |
| Carved night and chiselled shadow be the tomb | B |
| That speaks him famous graven with signs of doom | B |
| Intrenched inevitably in lines athwart | C |
| As on some thunder blasted Titan s brow | D |
| His record of rebellion Not the day | E |
| Shall strike forth music from so stern a chord | F |
| Touching this marble darkness none knows how | D |
| And stars impenetrable of midnight may | E |
| So locms the likeness of thy soul John Ford | F |
