John Ford: Vi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDEFDEFHEW 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 |
