Irony Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDACEFGFGHEIJHKH KJJLMHJHJNMJ| ALL night a great wind blew across the land | A |
| Come fresh from wild and salty seas | B |
| With many voices loud and low | C |
| Appealing to the sympathies | B |
| Of those with whom long long ago | C |
| It had been friends but who | D |
| Had lost the way to know and understand | A |
| Its weird and tearless woe | C |
| A sleeper drawn from ancient fancies stirred | E |
| And strangely breathed in deep unrest | F |
| As though his heart were choked with grief | G |
| The moon down stealing in the west | F |
| Threw every move of limb and leaf | G |
| Upon his blind Now this | H |
| Was he the wind sought wildly had he heard | E |
| Alas the friend was deaf | I |
| All time a great Thought wandered round the world | J |
| Naked and breathing loveliness | H |
| Seeking in alien souls a home | K |
| And thwarted yet a seek no less | H |
| At every door till forced to roam | K |
| A wonder unexpressed | J |
| A sense of strangeness as of wings unfurled | J |
| Hovered at times o'er some | L |
| He heard the knocking at the inner door | M |
| He saw her face a light intense | H |
| And stood amazed irresolute | J |
| 'Now thou who hast the poet sense | H |
| In song serene and absolute | J |
| Proclaim my hidden worth ' | N |
| He sobbed she drooped her wings Woe evermore | M |
| The chosen mind was mute | J |
