Charon. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEFEEGGGHIJKFHLH KMFMFGNG| Who goes across those waters | A |
| On which the Moon ne'er shone | B |
| With the passenger he came for | C |
| As in a dream moved on | D |
| Cypress and yews o'ershadow | E |
| The verge on either side | E |
| Within whose boughs for ever | F |
| The winds of woe abide | E |
| And all the air is haunted | E |
| With a wail that seems to flow | G |
| From the living lips of Sorrow | G |
| As the ages come and go | G |
| The boatman dumb and hoary | H |
| Pulls with a steady pull | I |
| And the dead man seems to listen | J |
| To voices beautiful | K |
| And it may be the weird River | F |
| Has sights we cannot see | H |
| And the far shore burns its signals | L |
| Of eerie mystery | H |
| And Charon knows each signal | K |
| Above the River's rim | M |
| The spectral lights that glimmer | F |
| Are pilot stars for him | M |
| Ay me he knows the water | F |
| As few few boatmen know | G |
| 'Tis not the first he's taking | N |
| Down where we all must go | G |
