The Chrysalis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEFDFE| Methought I floated sightless nor did know | A |
| That I had ears until I heard the cry | B |
| As of a mighty man in agony | C |
| How long Lord shall I lie thus foul and slow | A |
| The arrows of thy lightning through me go | A |
| And sting and torture me yet here I lie | B |
| A shapeless mass that scarce can mould a sigh | B |
| The darkness thinned I saw a thing below | A |
| Like sheeted corpse a knot at head and feet | D |
| Slow clomb the sun the mountains of the dead | E |
| And looked upon the world the silence broke | F |
| A blinding struggle then the thunderous beat | D |
| Of great exulting pinions stroke on stroke | F |
| And from that world a mighty angel fled | E |
