Shades Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD BCD EFG EFG HHI HHI A| Shall I tell you then how it is | A |
| There came a cloven gleam | B |
| Like a tongue of darkened flame | C |
| To flicker in me | D |
| - | |
| And so I seem | B |
| To have you still the same | C |
| In one world with me | D |
| - | |
| In the flicker of a flower | E |
| In a worm that is blind yet strives | F |
| In a mouse that pauses to listen | G |
| - | |
| Glimmers our | E |
| Shadow yet it deprives | F |
| Them none of their glisten | G |
| - | |
| In every shaken morsel | H |
| I see our shadow tremble | H |
| As if it rippled from out of us hand in hand | I |
| - | |
| As if it were part and parcel | H |
| One shadow and we need not dissemble | H |
| Our darkness do you understand | I |
| - | |
| For I have told you plainly how it is | A |
