Dissonance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEECD| The 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 |
