Lying In Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFE GHIH

Lying in me as though it were a whiteA
Stone in the depths of a well is oneB
Memory that I cannot will not fightA
It is happiness and it is painC
Anyone looking straight into my eyesD
Could not help seeing it and could not failE
To become thoughtful more sad and quietF
Than if he were listening to some tragic taleE
-
I know the gods changed people into thingsG
Leaving their consciousness alive and freeH
To keep alive the wonder of sufferingI
You have been metamorphosed into meH

Anna Akhmatova
