Silence And Stealth Of Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFGHGIJIJKLKM NONOPJPJEKEK| Silence and stealth of days 'tis now | A |
| Since thou art gone | B |
| Twelve hundred hours and not a brow | A |
| But clouds hang on | C |
| As he that in some cave's thick damp | D |
| Lockt from the light | E |
| Fixeth a solitary lamp | D |
| To brave the night | E |
| And walking from his sun when past | F |
| That glim'ring ray | G |
| Cuts through the heavy mists in haste | H |
| Back to his day | G |
| So o'r fled minutes I retreat | I |
| Unto that hour | J |
| Which show'd thee last but did defeat | I |
| Thy light and power | J |
| I search and rack my soul to see | K |
| Those beams again | L |
| But nothing but the snuff to me | K |
| Appeareth plain | M |
| That dark and dead sleeps in its known | N |
| And common urn | O |
| But those fled to their Maker's throne | N |
| There shine and burn | O |
| O could I track them but souls must | P |
| Track one the other | J |
| And now the spirit not the dust | P |
| Must be thy brother | J |
| Yet I have one Pearl by whose light | E |
| All things I see | K |
| And in the heart of earth and night | E |
| Find heaven and thee | K |
