The Dawn Of Darkness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEACFFGGHHII JJ| Come earth's little children pit pat from their burrows on the hill | A |
| Hangs within the gloom its weary head the shining daffodil | A |
| In the valley underneath us through the fragrance flit along | B |
| Over fields and over hedgerows little quivering drops of song | B |
| All adown the pale blue mantle of the mountains far away | C |
| Stream the tresses of the twilight flying in the wake of day | C |
| Night comes soon alone shall fancy follow sadly in her flight | D |
| Where the fiery dust of evening shaken from the feet of light | D |
| Thrusts its monstrous barriers between the pure the good the true | E |
| That our weeping eyes may strain for but shall never after view | E |
| Only yester eve I watched with heart at rest the nebul | A |
| Looming far within the shadowy shining of the Milky Way | C |
| Finding in the stillness joy and hope for all the sons of men | F |
| Now what silent anguish fills a night more beautiful than then | F |
| For earth's age of pain has come and all her sister planets weep | G |
| Thinking of her fires of morning passing into dreamless sleep | G |
| In this cycle of great sorrow for the moments that we last | H |
| We too shall be linked by weeping to the greatness of her past | H |
| But the coming race shall know not and the fount of tears shall dry | I |
| And the arid heart of man be arid as the desert sky | I |
| So within my mind the darkness dawned and round me everywhere | J |
| Hope departed with the twilight leaving only dumb despair | J |
