The Moving Of The Shades Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDEFDFDGB| The black revolving depths have moved and stirred | A |
| with news their Lord has cried 'Send these and these ' | B |
| Swift feet awake Shapes speed The dreadful word | A |
| resounds along the tunnels of the seas | C |
| Sly Falsehood comes with Sin and Flattery | D |
| and long toothed Fear runs shrieking by the wall | E |
| Face hidden Sorrow follows Cruelty | D |
| and peering Jealousy grown over tall | E |
| Slobbering Lust is there asmear with slime | F |
| and Vice's ushers from the Uttermost | D |
| Comes painted Pleasure somewhat fat with time | F |
| and Murder takes his place amid the host | D |
| thronewardds they stand and gazzee the Foull Voice screams | G |
| 'Invoke this God Go hand in hand with dreams ' | B |
