Well Hast Thou Spoke Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EFEEG HIHHI JKLLLK HMHHHM NONNNO| Well 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 |
