The Deaf And Blind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJKL M

Do we reach the sea with clocksA
In our pockets with the noise of the seaB
In the sea or are we the carriersC
Of a purer and more silent waterD
-
The water rubbing against our hands sharpens knivesE
The warriors have found their weapons in the wavesF
And the sound of their blows is likeG
The rocks that smash the boats at nightH
-
It is the storm and the thunder Why not the silenceI
Of the flood for we have dreamt within usJ
Space for the greatest silence and we breatheK
Like the wind over terrible seas like the windL
-
That creeps slowly over every horizonM

Paul Eluard
