Fragment, Or The Triumph Of Conscience Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB ACAC DEFGEEHEHI| 'Twas dead of the night when I sate in my dwelling | A |
| One glimmering lamp was expiring and low | B |
| Around the dark tide of the tempest was swelling | A |
| Along the wild mountains night ravens were yelling | A |
| They bodingly presaged destruction and woe | B |
| - | |
| 'Twas then that I started the wild storm was howling | A |
| Nought was seen save the lightning that danced on the sky | C |
| Above me the crash of the thunder was rolling | A |
| And low chilling murmurs the blast wafted by | C |
| - | |
| My heart sank within me unheeded the jar | D |
| Of the battling clouds on the mountain tops broke | E |
| Unheeded the thunder peal crashed in mine ear | F |
| This heart hard as iron was stranger to fear | G |
| But conscience in low noiseless whispering spoke | E |
| Twas then that her form on the whirlwind uprearing | E |
| The dark ghost of the murdered Victoria strode | H |
| Her right hand a blood reeking dagger was bearing | E |
| She swiftly advanced to my lonesome abode | H |
| I wildly then called on the tempest to bear me | I |
