Evening Angelus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHAI JKLMLHANOPQAI have forgotten the words | A |
and therefore I shall not conceive | B |
of a mysterious salvation I shall | C |
not become a tall lily and bloom | D |
into blue and white Then what | E |
oracular event shall appear on | F |
my doorstep What announcement | G |
shall crowd me to a corner | H |
protesting an unworthiness | A |
which doubtless shall be believed | I |
- | |
But these are only bells we hear | J |
pulled down by the arms of the | K |
drunken janitor two fingers missing | L |
on his left hand And we have | M |
climbed into that tower its spiraling | L |
wooden staircase creaking beneath our | H |
feet We have seen for ourselves | A |
that it is only iron that rings iron | N |
swinging on an iron bar the rough rope | O |
threading down to the cold ground | P |
no death or holiness in | Q |
those hollow shells | A |
