Shadow Of Nightmare Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCADDA| What gulf ascended hand is this that grips | A |
| My spirit as with chains and from the sound | B |
| And light of dreamland draws me to the bound | B |
| Where darkness waits with wide expectant lips | A |
| Albeit thereat my footing holds nor slips | A |
| The night born menace and the fear confound | B |
| All days and hours of gladness girt around | B |
| With sense of near unswervable eclipse | A |
| - | |
| So lies a land whose noon is plagued with whirr | C |
| Of bats than their own shadows swarthier | C |
| That trace their passing upon white abodes | A |
| Wherein from court to court from room to room | D |
| In hieroglyphics of abhorrent doom | D |
| Is trailed the slime of slowly crawling toads | A |
