The Two Terrors Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACABAB DEDFGH| Two terrors fright my soul by night and day | A |
| The first is Life and with her come the years | B |
| A weary winding train of maidens they | A |
| With forward fronting eyes too sad for tears | C |
| Upon whose kindred faces blank and grey | A |
| The shadow of a kindred woe appears | B |
| Death is the second terror who shall say | A |
| What form beneath the shrouding mantle nears | B |
| - | |
| Which way she turn my soul finds no relief | D |
| My smitten soul may not be comforted | E |
| Alternately she swings from grief to grief | D |
| And poised between them sways from dread to dread | F |
| For there she dreads because she knows and here | G |
| Because she knows not only faints with fear | H |
