David Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDEC| Eternal cold of silence where each sound | A |
| Dies in its birth and Death's pale henchmen meet | B |
| With soft Lethean traps unwary feet | B |
| Or ride with hell's white steed and slavering hound | A |
| Which of us searching selfward has not found | A |
| This desolate realm and long black seams that greet | B |
| Our souls with recollections of defeat | B |
| And torrid fossils in the frozen ground | A |
| Not he who comes among us as a king | C |
| Strange were the secret waste and granite walls | D |
| To him whose reverent feet have travelled far | E |
| Where duty beckons and adventure calls | D |
| He steers his course by one red tropic star | E |
| Where ripples the green robe of the lilting spring | C |
