The Retribution Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDECE| Old Egypt's gods Osiris Ammon Thoth | A |
| Came on my dream in thunder and their feet | B |
| Revealed were as the levin's fire and heat | B |
| The hosts of Rome the Arab and the Goth | A |
| Have left their altars dark yet stern and wroth | A |
| In olden power they stood whose wings were fleet | B |
| And mighty as with strength of storms that meet | B |
| In mingled foam of clouds and ocean froth | A |
| - | |
| Above my dream with arch of dreaded wings | C |
| In judgment and in sentence of what crime | D |
| I knew not sate the gods outcast of time | D |
| They passed and lo a plague of darkness fell | E |
| Unsleeping and accurst with nameless things | C |
| And dreams that stood the ministers of Hell | E |
