Hugo's "pool In The Forest" Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJHow calm how beauteous and how cool | A |
How like a sister to the skies | B |
Appears the broad transparent pool | A |
That in this quiet forest lies | B |
The sunshine ripples on its face | C |
And from the world around above | D |
It hath caught down the nameless grace | C |
Of such reflections as we love | D |
- | |
But deep below its surface crawl | E |
The reptile horrors of the night | F |
The dragons lizards serpents all | E |
The hideous brood that hate the light | F |
Through poison fern and slimy weed | G |
And under ragged jagged stones | H |
They scuttle or in ghoulish greed | G |
They lap a dead man's bleaching bones | H |
- | |
And as O pool thou dost cajole | I |
With seemings that beguile us well | J |
So doeth many a human soul | I |
That teemeth with the lusts of hell | J |
