From The Still Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A B C D E F G C H I C F J K| So ghostly are these late days | A |
| - | |
| Just like the look of sick people sent here | B |
| - | |
| In the light However the night shades the muted lament | C |
| - | |
| Of their eyes toward which they already turn | D |
| - | |
| They probably smile and recall their celebrations | E |
| - | |
| How one is moved after songs half forgotten | F |
| - | |
| And searches words for a sad gesture | G |
| - | |
| Which already grows pale in silence unmeasured | C |
| - | |
| So the sun still plays around ill flowers | H |
| - | |
| And lets them shiver in the thin clear airs | I |
| - | |
| With a death cool delight | C |
| - | |
| The red forests whisper and darken | F |
| - | |
| And more death nightly the woodpeckers' hammering echoes | J |
| - | |
| Just like a reverberation from airless crypts | K |
