Fire In The Heavens Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDDD DADA EE| Fire in the heavens and fire along the hills | A |
| and fire made solid in the flinty stone | B |
| thick mass'd or scatter'd pebble fire that fills | A |
| the breathless hour that lives in fire alone | B |
| - | |
| This valley long ago the patient bed | C |
| of floods that carv'd its antient amplitude | D |
| in stillness of the Egyptian crypt outspread | D |
| endures to drown in noon day's tyrant mood | D |
| - | |
| Behind the veil of burning silence bound | D |
| vast life's innumerous busy littleness | A |
| is hush'd in vague conjectured blur of sound | D |
| that dulls the brain with slumbrous weight unless | A |
| - | |
| some dazzling puncture let the stridence throng | E |
| in the cicada's torture point of song | E |
