The Head Above The Fog Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBA CDEDC FGGGH ABBBA| Something do I see | A |
| Above the fog that sheets the mead | B |
| A figure like to life indeed | B |
| Moving along with spectre speed | B |
| Seen by none but me | A |
| - | |
| O the vision keen | C |
| Tripping along to me for love | D |
| As in the flesh it used to move | E |
| Only its hat and plume above | D |
| The evening fog fleece seen | C |
| - | |
| In the day fall wan | F |
| When nighted birds break off their song | G |
| Mere ghostly head it skims along | G |
| Just as it did when warm and strong | G |
| Body seeming gone | H |
| - | |
| Such it is I see | A |
| Above the fog that sheets the mead | B |
| Yea that which once could breathe and plead | B |
| Skimming along with spectre speed | B |
| To a last tryst with me | A |
