The Blind Man Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEFEGFHIHIJJWithin a corner of this windowed room | A |
He sits and seldom speaks and seldom | B |
moves | C |
Forever left within eternal gloom | A |
He thinks of those he left and those he loves | D |
The clouds were his the colours of the day | E |
The purple mists the deepest shades of blue | F |
The yellow flames the stars the milky way | E |
And smiles and frowns and stretching moon | G |
light too | F |
He knew the sun upon the eastern sea | H |
And watched it set behind a western hill | I |
He saw the depth of waters space the free | H |
Ascent of birds All these he knew until | I |
The bursting shell And now as life is long | J |
He sits alone and whistles some old song | J |
