Hugo's Pool In The Forest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJ| How 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 |
