The Dead Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC DADA EFEF| The west builds high a sepulcher | A |
| Of cloudy granite and of gold | B |
| Where twilight's priestly hours inter | A |
| The Day like some great king of old | B |
| - | |
| A censer rimmed with silver fire | A |
| The new moon swings above his tomb | C |
| While organ stops of God's own choir | A |
| Star after star throbs in the gloom | C |
| - | |
| And Night draws near the sadly sweet | D |
| A nun whose face is calm and fair | A |
| And kneeling at the dead Day's feet | D |
| Her soul goes up in mists like prayer | A |
| - | |
| In prayer we feel through dewy gleam | E |
| And flowery fragrance and above | F |
| All earth the ecstasy and dream | E |
| That haunt the mystic heart of love | F |
