Black Vesper's Pageants Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBB CDCDEE BFBFGG BHBHEB| The day all fierce with carmine turns | A |
| An Indian face towards Earth and dies | B |
| The west like some gaunt vase inurns | B |
| Its ashes under smouldering skies | B |
| Athwart whose bowl one red cloud streams | B |
| Strange as a shape some Aztec dreams | B |
| - | |
| Now shadows mass above the world | C |
| And night comes on with wind and rain | D |
| The mulberry colored leaves are hurled | C |
| Like frantic hands against the pane | D |
| And through the forests bending low | E |
| Night stalks like some gigantic woe | E |
| - | |
| In hollows where the thistle shakes | B |
| A hoar bloom like a witch's light | F |
| From weed and flower the rain wind rakes | B |
| Dead sweetness as a wildman might | F |
| From out the leaves the woods among | G |
| Dig some dead woman fair and young | G |
| - | |
| Now let me walk the woodland ways | B |
| Alone except for thoughts that are | H |
| Akin to such wild nights and days | B |
| A portion of the storm that far | H |
| Fills Heaven and Earth tumultuously | E |
| And my own soul with ecstasy | B |
