Shane O-neill-s Cairn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFAGHIGJHIKTO U J | A |
When you and I on the Palos Verdes cliff | B |
Found life more desperate than dear | C |
And when we hawked at it on the lake by Seattle | D |
In the west of the world where hardly | E |
Anything has died yet we'd not have been sorry Una | F |
But surprised to foresee this gray | A |
Coast in our days the gray waters of the Moyle | G |
Below us and under our feet | H |
The heavy black stones of the cairn of the lord of Ulster | I |
A man of blood who died bloodily | G |
Four centuries ago but death's nothing and life | J |
From a high death mark on a headland | H |
Of this dim island of burials is nothing either | I |
How beautiful are both these nothings | K |
