Grandeur Of Ghosts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDCE DEFD| When I have heard small talk about great men | A |
| I climb to bed light my two candles then | A |
| Consider what was said and put aside | B |
| What Such a one remarked and Someone else replied | B |
| - | |
| They have spoken lightly of my deathless friends | C |
| Lamps for my gloom hands guiding where I stumble | D |
| Quoting for shallow conversational ends | C |
| What Shelley shrilled what Blake once wildly muttered | E |
| - | |
| How can they use such names and be not humble | D |
| I have sat silent angry at what they uttered | E |
| The dead bequeathed them life the dead have said | F |
| What these can only memorize and mumble | D |
