Calverly's Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHJAKA LMDMNKOL APQPRASAWe go no more to Calverly's | A |
For there the lights are few and low | B |
And who are there to see by them | C |
Or what they see we do not know | B |
Poor strangers of another tongue | D |
May now creep in from anywhere | E |
And we forgotten be no more | F |
Than twilight on a ruin there | E |
- | |
We two the remnant All the rest | G |
Are cold and quiet You nor I | H |
Nor fiddle now nor flagon lid | I |
May ring them back from where they lie | H |
No fame delays oblivion | J |
For them but something yet survives | A |
A record written fair could we | K |
But read the book of scattered lives | A |
- | |
There'll be a page for Leffingwell | L |
And one for Lingard the Moon calf | M |
And who knows what for Clavering | D |
Who died because he couldn't laugh | M |
Who knows or cares No sign is here | N |
No face no voice no memory | K |
No Lingard with his eerie joy | O |
No Clavering no Calverly | L |
- | |
We cannot have them here with us | A |
To say where their light lives are gone | P |
Or if they be of other stuff | Q |
Than are the moons of Ilion | P |
So be their place of one estate | R |
With ashes echoes and old wars | A |
Or ever we be of the night | S |
Or we be lost among the stars | A |
