White Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADDA EEFAAFMethought the world was bound with final frost | A |
The sun made hueless as with fear and awe | B |
Illumined still the lands it could not thaw | C |
Then on my road with instant evening crost | A |
Death stood and in its dusky veils enwound | A |
Mine eyes forgot the light until I came | D |
Where poured the inseparate unshadowed flame | D |
Of phantom suns in self irradiance drowned | A |
- | |
Death lay revealed in all its haggardness | E |
Immitigable wastes horizonless | E |
Profundities that held nor bar nor veil | F |
All hues wherewith the suns and worlds were dyed | A |
In light invariable nullifed | A |
All darkness rendered shelterless and pale | F |
