Ennui (thou) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDE FGHFGH| Thou art immured in some sad garden sown with dust | A |
| Of fruit of Sodom that bedims the summer ground | B |
| And burdenously bows the lilies many crowned | B |
| Or fills the pale and ebon mouths of sleepy lust | A |
| The poppies raise And falling there imponderously | C |
| Dull ashes emptied from the urns of all the dead | D |
| Have stilled the fountain and have sealed the fountain head | D |
| And pall wise draped the pine and flowering myrtle tree | E |
| - | |
| Thou art becalmed upon that slothful ancient main | F |
| Where Styx and Lethe fall where skies of stagnant grey | G |
| With the grey stagnant waters meet and merge as one | H |
| How tardily thy torpid heart remembers pain | F |
| And love itself as aureate islands far away | G |
| On seas refulgent with the incredible red sun | H |
