Westminster Abbey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCA DDAEF GEHG| 'TWAS afternoon in winter and the light | A |
| Sloped softly up the walls as day was done | B |
| In tremulous cloud beams while the westering sun | B |
| Blazoned with saints the columns opposite | C |
| All sounds had died away to left and right | A |
| - | |
| Was silence tho' I seemed to hear again | D |
| The spirit echoes of the last Amen | D |
| Far in the groin d shadowings out of sight | A |
| Oh silence strange so deep so vast profound | E |
| Ten ages slumber in the dust beneath | F |
| - | |
| And yet no voice no voice from those who trod | G |
| These aisles before and lie so still around | E |
| Oh is it that they lose all voice in death | H |
| Seeing what they see and being so close to God | G |
