An Allegory Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCDAA AEFEGEGHH| I | A |
| A portal as of shadowy adamant | B |
| Stands yawning on the highway of the life | C |
| Which we all tread a cavern huge and gaunt | D |
| Around it rages an unceasing strife | C |
| Of shadows like the restless clouds that haunt | D |
| The gap of some cleft mountain lifted high | A |
| Into the whirlwinds of the upper sky | A |
| - | |
| II | A |
| And many pass it by with careless tread | E |
| Not knowing that a shadowy | F |
| Tracks every traveller even to where the dead | E |
| Wait peacefully for their companion new | G |
| But others by more curious humour led | E |
| Pause to examine these are very few | G |
| And they learn little there except to know | H |
| That shadows follow them where er they go | H |
