Compensations: 02 - Deaf Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEFGE| I can recall a time when on mine ears | A |
| There fell chaotic sounds of earthly life | B |
| Shrill cries of triumph and hoarse shouts of strife | B |
| A medley of despairs and hopes and fears | A |
| Then silence came and unavailing tears | C |
| The stillness stabbed me like a two edged knife | B |
| Until I found the Universe was rife | B |
| With subtle music of the neighbouring spheres | A |
| Such harmonies such congruous sweet chords | D |
| Wherein each note conveys a healing balm | E |
| And now no more I miss men's spoken words | F |
| For in a quiet world of larger thought | G |
| I know the joy that comes from being calm | E |
