Warning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDAA EFFGGEE HIIAAHJ| Hast heard the voices of the fen | A |
| That softly sing a lethal rune | B |
| Where reeds have caught the fallen moon | B |
| A song more sweet than conium is | C |
| Or honey blended cannabis | D |
| To draw the dreaming feet of men | A |
| On ways where none goes forth again | A |
| - | |
| Beneath the closely woven grass | E |
| The coiling syrt more soft and deep | F |
| Than some divan where lovers sleep | F |
| Is fain of all who wander there | G |
| And arms that glimmer vague and bare | G |
| Beckon within the lone morass | E |
| Where only dead things dwell and pass | E |
| - | |
| Beware the voices float and fall | H |
| Half heard and haply sweet to thee | I |
| As are the runes of memory | I |
| And murmurs of a voice foreknown | A |
| In days when love dwelt not alone | A |
| Beware for where the voices call | H |
| Slow waters weave thy charnel pall | J |
