Dissonance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEECDThe harsh brief sob of broken horns the sound | A |
Of hammers on some clanging sepulcher | B |
Lutes in a thunder storm a dulcimer | B |
By sudden drums and clamoring bugles drowned | A |
Crackle of pearls and gritting rubies ground | A |
Beneath an iron heel the heavy whirr | B |
Of battle wheels a hungry leopard's purr | B |
And sigh of swords withdrawing from the wound | A |
- | |
All all are in they dreadful fugue O life | C |
Thy dark malign and monstrous music spun | D |
In hell from a delirious Satan's dream | E |
O dissonance primordial and supreme | E |
The moan the thunder evermore at strife | C |
Beneath the unheeding silence of the sun | D |
