The Possessed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EEF GGF| The sun in crepe has muffled up his fire | A |
| Moon of my life Half shade yourself like him | B |
| Slumber or smoke Be silent and be dim | B |
| And in the gulf of ennui plunge entire | A |
| - | |
| I love you thus However if you like | C |
| Like some bright star from its eclipse emerging | D |
| To flaunt with Folly where the crowds are surging | D |
| Flash lovely dagger from your sheath and strike | C |
| - | |
| Light up your eyes from chandeliers of glass | E |
| Light up the lustful looks of louts that pass | E |
| Morbid or petulant I thrill before you | F |
| - | |
| Be what you will black night or crimson dawn | G |
| No fibre of my body tautly drawn | G |
| But cries Beloved demon I adore you | F |
