After Armageddon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCB DEEDE FGGHG AIIAI| God walks lightly in the gardens of a cold dark star | A |
| Knowing not the dust that gathers in His garments' fold | B |
| God signs Him with the clay marks Him with the mould | B |
| Walking in the fields unsunned of a sad lost war | C |
| In a star long cold | B |
| - | |
| God treads brightly where the bones of unknown things lie | D |
| Pale with His splendor as the frost in a moon bleached place | E |
| God sees the tombs by the light of His face | E |
| He shudders at the runes writ thereon and His shadow on the sky | D |
| Shudders hugely in space | E |
| - | |
| God talks briefly with His armies of the tomb born worm | F |
| God holds parley with the grey worm and pale avid moth | G |
| Their mouths have eaten all but the worm is wroth | G |
| With a dark hunger still and he murmurs harm | H |
| With the murmuring moth | G |
| - | |
| God turns Him heavenward in haste from a death dark star | A |
| But His robes are assoil d by the dust of unknown things dead | I |
| The grey worm follows creeping and the pale moth has fed | I |
| Couched in a secret golden fold of His broad trained cimar | A |
| Like a doom unsaid | I |
