Next Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ABAB BCBC BCBC DEDEHow have I wandered here to this vaulted room | A |
In the house of life the floor was ruffled with gold | B |
Last evening and she who was softly in bloom | A |
Glimmered as flowers that in perfume at twilight unfold | B |
- | |
For the flush of the night whereas now the gloom | A |
Of every dirty must besprinkled mould | B |
And damp old web of misery's heirloom | A |
Deadens this day's grey dropping arras fold | B |
- | |
And what is this that floats on the undermist | B |
Of the mirror towards the dusty grate as if feeling | C |
Unsightly its way to the warmth this thing with a list | B |
To the left this ghost like a candle swealing | C |
- | |
Pale blurred with two round black drops as if it missed | B |
Itself among everything else here hungrily stealing | C |
Upon me my own reflection explicit gist | B |
Of my presence there in the mirror that leans from the ceiling | C |
- | |
Then will somebody square this shade with the being I know | D |
I was last night when my soul rang clear as a bell | E |
And happy as rain in summer Why should it be so | D |
What is there gone against me why am I in hell | E |
