The Medusa Of Despair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEDCE| I may not mask for ever with the grace | A |
| Of woven flowers thine eyes of staring stone | B |
| Ere the lithe adders and the garlands blown | B |
| Parting their tangle have disclosed thy face | A |
| Lethal as are the pale young suns in space | A |
| Ere my life take the likeness of thine own | B |
| Get hence the dark gods languish on their throne | B |
| And flameless grow the Furies they embrace | A |
| - | |
| Regressive through what realms of elder doom | C |
| Where even the swart vans of Time are stunned | D |
| Seek thou some tall Cimmerian citadel | E |
| And proud demonian capitals unsunned | D |
| Whose ramparts ominous with horrent gloom | C |
| Heave worldward on the unwaning light of hell | E |
