Duality Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEEF GHI IGH| Thy soul is like a secret garden close | A |
| Where roots of cleft rnandragoras enwreathe | B |
| Where bergamot and fumitory breathe | B |
| And ivy winds its tower with the rose | C |
| - | |
| The lolling weeds of Lethe green or wan | D |
| Exhale their fatal languors on the light | E |
| From out infernal grails of aconite | E |
| Poisons and dews are proffered to the dawn | F |
| - | |
| Here when the moon's phantasmal fingers grope | G |
| To find the marbles of a hidden tomb | H |
| There sings the cypress perch d nightingale | I |
| - | |
| And all the silver bellied serpents pale | I |
| Their ruby eyes amid the blossoms ope | G |
| To lift and listen in the ghostly gloom | H |
