Well Hast Thou Spoke Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EFEEG HIHHI JKLLLK HMHHHM NONNNOWell hast thou spoken and yet not taught | A |
A feeling strange or new | B |
Thou hast but roused a latent thought | A |
A cloud closed beam of sunshine brought | A |
To gleam in open view | B |
- | |
Deep down concealed within my soul | C |
That light lies hid from men | D |
Yet glows unquenched though shadows roll | C |
Its gentle ray cannot control | C |
About the sullen den | D |
- | |
Was I not vexed in these gloomy ways | E |
To walk alone so long | F |
Around me wretches uttering praise | E |
Or howling o'er their hopeless days | E |
And each with Frenzy's tongue | G |
- | |
A brotherhood of misery | H |
Their smiles as sad as sighs | I |
Whose madness daily maddened me | H |
Distorting into agony | H |
The bliss before my eyes | I |
- | |
So stood I in Heaven's glorious sun | J |
And in the glare of Hell | K |
My spirit drank a mingled tone | L |
Of seraph's song and demon's moan | L |
What my soul bore my soul alone | L |
Within itself may tell | K |
- | |
Like a soft air above a sea | H |
Tossed by the tempest's stir | M |
A thaw wind melting quietly | H |
The snow drift on some wintry lea | H |
No what sweet thing resembles thee | H |
My thoughtful Comforter | M |
- | |
And yet a little longer speak | N |
Calm this resentful mood | O |
And while the savage heart grows meek | N |
For other token do not seek | N |
But let the tear upon my cheek | N |
Evince my gratitude | O |
