The Last Goddess Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCDECDBEFFGHFIHGIIA Fragment | A |
- | |
To laud the loves of old | B |
I sought for splendors fabulous and far | C |
The curls of one were black Circean petals | D |
Of poppies blown by night | E |
In the sad gardens of a sinful star | C |
Her eyes were mystic metals | D |
Wrought with a secret told | B |
By lost archangels in their flight | E |
To women of the worlds that stray | F |
On the red verges of the nether day | F |
Her voice was like a lulling music blown | G |
At sunset from an isle of spells | H |
Across a lake of rosy nenuphar | F |
And yet therein | I |
Betimes I caught the chill and crystal bells | H |
That grieved and grieved alone | G |
Above the fallen din | I |
Of cities drowsed with revelry and sin | I |
