The Fallen Poet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGF CHIHJKLK| NOW that the soul has left its throne | A |
| Behind your mortal eyes | B |
| And light and colour and sound are gone | C |
| From the body's palaces | D |
| Still in his wood the blackbird calls | E |
| But there is one too few to hear | F |
| And one too few to watch the trout | G |
| Swim through the music of the weir | F |
| - | |
| And once I dreamt that you were gone | C |
| As dust upon the wave | H |
| Or as a dropp in some deep well | I |
| That none could sort or save | H |
| But falling low between the stars | J |
| So soon as I had such a fear | K |
| At dusk and dawn a whisper came | L |
| 'The dead are near the dead are near | K |
