To The Nightshade Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCDEFDGBHB| Sullen and sinister darkly dull of leaf | A |
| Thou rearest amid the brighter flowers | B |
| Like a presage of evil in dreams of joyance | B |
| Evil of beauty thy blossoms | B |
| And purple like the agony of Death | C |
| And their fruit as its livid consummation | D |
| Such a flower art thou | E |
| As might spring from the rotting of ancient sin | F |
| Its unavoidable latter confession | D |
| Or from the corroded altar stone | G |
| Now merged with the blood of its victims | B |
| A hideous and fruitful wedlock | H |
| In some place of sacrifice to monstrous gods | B |
