The Lament Of The Looking-glass Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD EFEFEFWords from the mirror softly pass | A |
To the curtains with a sigh | B |
Why should I trouble again to glass | A |
These smileless things hard by | B |
Since she I pleasured once alas | A |
Is now no longer nigh | B |
- | |
I've imaged shadows of coursing cloud | C |
And of the plying limb | D |
On the pensive pine when the air is loud | C |
With its aerial hymn | D |
But never do they make me proud | C |
To catch them within my rim | D |
- | |
I flash back phantoms of the night | E |
That sometimes flit by me | F |
I echo roses red and white | E |
The loveliest blooms that be | F |
But now I never hold to sight | E |
So sweet a flower as she | F |
