A Fantastical Engraving Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFFGGHHIIThis freakish ghost has nothing else to wear | A |
But some cheap crown he picked up at a fair | A |
Grotesquely perched atop his bony corpse | B |
Without a whip or spur he drives his horse | C |
Ghostly as he hack of apocalypse | D |
To pant and drool like someone in a fit | E |
This duo makes its charge through endless space | F |
Trampling the infinite with reckless pace | F |
The horseman waves a blazing sword around | G |
The nameless crowds he's trampled to the ground | G |
And like a prince inspecting his domain | H |
He travels to a graveyard's empty plain | H |
Where lie with pallid sunshine overhead | I |
From old and modem times the storied dead | I |
