The Watcher Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEE| From out a windy cleft there comes a gaze | A |
| Of eyes unearthly which go to and fro | B |
| Upon the people's tumult for below | B |
| The nations smite each other no amaze | A |
| Troubles their liquid rolling or affrays | A |
| Their deep set contemplation steadily glow | B |
| Those ever holier eyeballs for they grow | B |
| Liker unto the eyes of one that prays | A |
| And if those clasped hands tremble comes a power | C |
| As of the might of worlds and they are holden | D |
| Blessing above us in the sunrise golden | D |
| And they will be uplifted till that hour | C |
| Of terrible rolling which shall rise and shake | E |
| This conscious nightmare from us and we wake | E |
