The Witch With Eyes Of Amber Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH CJKJI met a witch with amber eyes | A |
Who slowly sang a scarlet rune | B |
Shifting to an icy laughter | C |
Like the laughter of the moon | B |
- | |
Red as a wanton's was her mouth | D |
And fair the breast she bade me take | E |
With a word that clove and clung | F |
Burning like a furnace flake | E |
- | |
But from her bright and lifted bosom | G |
When I touched it with my hand | H |
Came the many needled coldness | I |
Of a glacier taken land | H |
- | |
And lo the witch with eyes of amber | C |
Vanished like a blown out flame | J |
Leaving but the lichen eaten | K |
Stone that bore a blotted name | J |
