One Of Time-s Riddles Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEFDEGIN her deep bosom the pride settled down | A |
That pride which is a brackish thing like salt | B |
And the life in her pulses seemed to halt | B |
About her temples for an iron crown | A |
She set stern patience She did never frown | A |
But her long gaze was gentle to a fault | B |
And looking deep into her eyes you had call'd | C |
Their lustre nothing but a mild clear brown | A |
She lives and moves and is a mystery | D |
That which she hath been the thought cannot touch | E |
Only beholding what she is it hath | F |
Glimpses of something she is yet to be | D |
And at the least it knows of her thus much | E |
She bides her season with a solemn faith | G |
