Masks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFGEFG| Death rides black masked to night and through the land | A |
| Madness beside him brandishes a torch | B |
| The peaceful farmhouse with its vine wreathed porch | B |
| Lies in their way Death lifts a bony hand | A |
| And knocks and Madness makes a wild demand | A |
| Of fierce Defiance then the night's deep arch | C |
| Reverberates and under beech and latch | D |
| A dead face stares shot where one took his stand | A |
| Then down the night wild hoofs the darkness beats | E |
| And like a torrent through the startled town | F |
| Destruction sweeps high overhead a flame | G |
| And Violence that shoots amid the streets | E |
| A piercing whistle one who gallops down | F |
| And Death and Madness go the way they came | G |
