Campus Sonnets: Before An Examination Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEFDE| The little letters dance across the page | A |
| Flaunt and retire and trick the tired eyes | B |
| Sick of the strain the glaring light I rise | B |
| Yawning and stretching full of empty rage | A |
| At the dull maunderings of a long dead sage | A |
| Fling up the windows fling aside his lies | B |
| Choosing to breathe not stifle and be wise | B |
| And let the air pour in upon my cage | A |
| - | |
| The breeze blows cool and there are stars and stars | C |
| Beyond the dark soft masses of the elms | D |
| That whisper things in windy tones and light | E |
| They seem to wheel for dim celestial wars | F |
| And I I hear the clash of silver helms | D |
| Ring icy clear from the far deeps of night | E |
