Darkness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFGFHF IJKJLJWHEN hurrying home on a rainy night | A |
And hearing tree tops rubbed and tossed | B |
And seeing never a friendly star | C |
And feeling your way when paths are crossed | B |
Stop fast and turn three times around | D |
And try the logic of the lost | B |
- | |
- | |
Where is the heavenly light you dreamed | E |
Where is your hearth and glowing ash | F |
Where is your love by the mellow moon | G |
Here is not even a lightning flash | F |
And in a place no worse than this | H |
Lost men shall wail and teeth shall gnash | F |
- | |
- | |
Lightning is quick and perilous | I |
The dawn comes on too slow and pale | J |
Your love brings only a yellow lamp | K |
Yet of these lights one shall avail | J |
The dark shall break for one of these | L |
I've never known this thing to fail | J |
