Tenebrae Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJKL| A moon with vacant chilling eye stares | A |
| At the winter enthroned vast and white upon the hard ground | B |
| The night is an entire and translucent azure | C |
| The wind a blade of sudden presence stabs | D |
| - | |
| Far away on the skylines the long pathways of frost | E |
| Seen in the distance to pierce the expanses | F |
| And stars of gold suspended to the zenith | G |
| Always higher amid the ether to rend the blue of the sky | H |
| - | |
| The villages crouched in the plains of Flanders | I |
| Near the rivers the heather and the great forests | J |
| Between two pale infinities shiver with cold | K |
| Huddled near old hearthsides where they stir the ashes | L |
