Two Blind Men Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDE FFGGHHIJ KLMMNNFF OOTwo blind men met Said one This earth | A |
Has been a blackout from my birth | A |
Through darkness I have groped my way | B |
Forlorn unknowing night from day | B |
But you though War destroyed your sight | C |
Still have your memories of Light | C |
And to allay your present pain | D |
Can live your golden youth again | E |
- | |
Then said the second Aye it's true | F |
It must seem magical to you | F |
To know the shape of things that are | G |
A women's lips a rose a star | G |
But therein lies the hell of it | H |
Better my eyes had never lit | H |
to love of bluebells in a wood | I |
Or daffodils in dancing mood | J |
- | |
You do not know what you have lost | K |
But I alas can count the cost | L |
Than memories that goad and gall | M |
Far better not to see at all | M |
And as for love you know it not | N |
For pity is our sorry lot | N |
So there you see my point of view | F |
'Tis I my friend who envy you | F |
- | |
And which was right still puzzles me | O |
Perhaps one should be blind to see | O |
