Inferno Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEECD| Grey hells or hells aglow with hot and scarlet flowers | A |
| White hells of light and clamor hells the abomination | B |
| Of breathless deep sepulchral desolation | B |
| Oppresses ever I have known them all through hours | A |
| Tedious as dead eternity where timeless powers | A |
| Leagued in malign omnipotent persuasion | B |
| Wearing the guise of love despair and aspiration | B |
| For ever drove through ashen fields and burning bowers | A |
| - | |
| My soul that found no sanctuary For Lucifer | C |
| And all the weary proud imperious baffled ones | D |
| Made in his image hell is anywhere the ice | E |
| Of hyperboreal deserts or the blowing spice | E |
| In winds from off Sumatra for each wanderer | C |
| Preserves the jealous flame of sad infernal suns | D |
