Superstition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| In 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 |
