Evening Angelus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHAI JKLMLHANOPQA| I 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 |
