The Medusa Of The Skies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA BCBDCD| Like a worm fretted visage from the tomb | A |
| The moon unswathes her hollow shrunken head | B |
| Launching such light as foulders on the dead | B |
| From pallid skies more death like than the gloom | A |
| Under her beams the breasted lands assume | A |
| Dead hues and charnel shapes unceremented | B |
| And shadows that towering sepulchers might shed | B |
| Move livid as the shadows on dials of doom | A |
| - | |
| On hills like tumuli and waters mute | B |
| A whiteness steals as of a world made still | C |
| When reptant Death at last rears absolute | B |
| An earth now frozen by malefice of eyes | D |
| Aeonian dooms and realm deep rigors fill | C |
| The gaze of that Medusa of the skies | D |
