What Of The Night? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBC DEDEDEThe doom is imminent of unholy hate | A |
Hail to the light that glimmers where the leaves | B |
Are shaken by winds of dawning and the sheaves | B |
Of hemlock swirl and scatter in the spate | A |
Love that has learned in faith to sorrow and wait | A |
Sings loud his glorious charm and subtly weaves | B |
The spell subduing madness that receives | B |
The madman at his own mad estimate | C |
- | |
Ah but the ponderous horror Nay not yet | D |
The cloud of sorrow leeward growls and rolls | E |
The eyes that meet the morn are heavy and wet | D |
The loss the military mind enscrolls | E |
Spilt blood and battered bones we may forget | D |
But not the wastage of beloved souls | E |
