Superstition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDEIn the waste places in the dreadful night | A |
When the wood whispers like a wandering mind | B |
And silence sits and listens to the wind | B |
Or 'mid the rocks to some wild torrent's flight | A |
Bat browed thou wadest with thy wisp of light | A |
Among black pools the moon can never find | B |
Or owlet eyed thou hootest to the blind | B |
Deep darkness from some cave or haunted height | A |
He who beholds but once thy fearsome face | C |
Never again shall walk alone but wan | D |
And terrible attendants shall be his | E |
Unutterable things that have no place | C |
In God or Beauty that compel him on | D |
Against all hope where endless horror is | E |
