The Monochord Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCDEEDIs it this sky's vast vault or ocean's sound | A |
That is Life's self and draws my life from me | B |
And by instinct ineffable decree | B |
Holds my breath quailing on the bitter bound | A |
Nay is it Life or Death thus thunder crown'd | A |
That 'mid the tide of all emergency | B |
Now notes my separate wave and to what sea | B |
Its difficult eddies labour in the ground | A |
- | |
Oh what is this that knows the road I came | C |
The flame turned cloud the cloud returned to flame | C |
The lifted shifted steeps and all the way | D |
That draws round me at last this wind warm space | E |
And in regenerate rapture turns my face | E |
Upon the devious coverts of dismay | D |
