The Power Of Eld Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAAAA ACADAABeneath my dome of sleep secure immersed | A |
And filled of peace such blinded power of scath | B |
As Samson once employed was loosed in wrath | B |
And tumult with tempestuous arm dispersed | A |
The pillared silence came a wind accurst | A |
That shuddering as from hidden peril fled | A |
A sign and then the Past's uncharneled dread | A |
In swarming visions on the darkness burst | A |
- | |
Betrayed by Sleep unto the might of Eld | A |
I knew the terror of its kings the fear | C |
Of thrones abased by some resistless flood | A |
Howlings of prophets mingled in mine ear | D |
With death lament of cities far beheld | A |
'Neath drenching flame that made the night as blood | A |
