The Grave Of Shelley Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEDEDE FLike burnt out torches by a sick man's bed | A |
Gaunt cypress trees stand round the sun bleached stone | B |
Here doth the little night owl make her throne | B |
And the slight lizard show his jewelled head | A |
And where the chaliced poppies flame to red | A |
In the still chamber of yon pyramid | C |
Surely some Old World Sphinx lurks darkly hid | C |
Grim warder of this pleasaunce of the dead | A |
- | |
Ah sweet indeed to rest within the womb | D |
Of Earth great mother of eternal sleep | E |
But sweeter far for thee a restless tomb | D |
In the blue cavern of an echoing deep | E |
Or where the tall ships founder in the gloom | D |
Against the rocks of some wave shattered steep | E |
