Masks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCD EE

These tales of old disguisings are they notA
Strange myths of souls that found themselves amongB
Unwonted folk that spake an hostile tongueB
Some soul from all the rest who'd not forgotA
The star span acres of a former lotA
Where boundless mid the clouds his course he swungB
Or carnate with his elder brothers sungB
Ere ballad makers lisped of CamelotA
-
Old singers half forgetful of their tunesC
Old painters color blind come back once moreD
Old poets skill less in the wind heart runesC
Old wizards lacking in their wonder loreD
-
All they that with strange sadness in their eyesE
Ponder in silence o'er earth's queynt devyseE
