Dust Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEAEWhen I went to look at what had long been hidden | A |
A jewel laid long ago in a secret place | B |
I trembled for I thought to see its dark deep fire | C |
But only a pinch of dust blew up in my face | B |
- | |
I almost gave my life long ago for a thing | D |
That has gone to dust now stinging my eyes | E |
It is strange how often a heart must be broken | A |
Before the years can make it wise | E |
