Opium Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCBCDECED| On reading De Quincey's Confessions of an Opium Eater | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| I seemed to stand before a temple walled | B |
| From shadows and night's unrealities | C |
| Filled with dark music of dead memories | C |
| And voices lost in darkness aye that called | B |
| I entered And beneath the dome's high halled | B |
| Immensity one forced me to my knees | C |
| Before a blackness throned 'mid semblances | C |
| And spectres crowned with flames of emerald | B |
| Then lo two shapes that thundered at mine ears | C |
| The names of Horror and Oblivion | D |
| Priests of this god and bade me die and dream | E |
| Then in the heart of hell a thousand years | C |
| Meseemed I lay dead while the iron stream | E |
| Of Time beat out the seconds one by one | D |
