Silence And Stealth Of Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGHGIJIJKLKM NONOPJPJEKEK

Silence and stealth of days 'tis nowA
Since thou art goneB
Twelve hundred hours and not a browA
But clouds hang onC
As he that in some cave's thick dampD
Lockt from the lightE
Fixeth a solitary lampD
To brave the nightE
And walking from his sun when pastF
That glim'ring rayG
Cuts through the heavy mists in hasteH
Back to his dayG
So o'r fled minutes I retreatI
Unto that hourJ
Which show'd thee last but did defeatI
Thy light and powerJ
I search and rack my soul to seeK
Those beams againL
But nothing but the snuff to meK
Appeareth plainM
That dark and dead sleeps in its knownN
And common urnO
But those fled to their Maker's throneN
There shine and burnO
O could I track them but souls mustP
Track one the otherJ
And now the spirit not the dustP
Must be thy brotherJ
Yet I have one Pearl by whose lightE
All things I seeK
And in the heart of earth and nightE
Find heaven and theeK
