Exorcism Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAAEF GGGHIJKLMNOAO| Like ghosts returning stealthily | A |
| From those grey lands | B |
| Palled with funereal ashes falling | C |
| After the burnt out sunset | D |
| The mists of the valley reach with wavering slow | A |
| Malignant arms from pine to pine and climb the hill | A |
| As fatal memories climb | E |
| To assail some heart benighted and bewitched | F |
| - | |
| And once they would have crept | G |
| Around me in resistless long beleaguerment | G |
| To lay their death bleak fingers on my heart | G |
| But now | H |
| My memories are of you and of the many graces | I |
| And tender immortal mad beatitudes of love | J |
| And every chill and death born phantom | K |
| Made harmless now and dim | L |
| Must pass to haunt the inane unpassioned air | M |
| And only living ghosts | N |
| Of raptures gone or ecstasies to be | O |
| May touch me and attain within the circle | A |
| Your arms have set about me | O |
