Pandora (for A Picture) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDEEFWHAT of the end Pandora Was it thine | A |
The deed that set these fiery pinions free | B |
Ah wherefore did the Olympian consistory | B |
In its own likeness make thee half divine | A |
Was it that Juno's brow might stand a sign | A |
For ever and the mien of Pallas be | B |
A deadly thing and that all men might see | B |
In Venus' eyes the gaze of Proserpine | A |
What of the end These beat their wings at will | C |
The ill born things the good things turned to ill | C |
Powers of the impassioned hours prohibited | D |
Aye clench the casket now Whither they go | E |
Thou mayst not dare to think nor canst thou know | E |
If Hope still pent there be alive or dead | F |
