Sonnet. Silence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEFF| There is a silence where hath been no sound | A |
| There is a silence where no sound may be | B |
| In the cold grave under the deep deep sea | B |
| Or in wide desert where no life is found | A |
| Which hath been mute and still must sleep profound | A |
| No voice is hush'd no life treads silently | B |
| But clouds and cloudy shadows wander free | B |
| That never spoke over the idle ground | A |
| But in green ruins in the desolate walls | C |
| Of antique palaces where Man hath been | D |
| Though the dun fox or wild hy na calls | C |
| And owls that flit continually between | E |
| Shriek to the echo and the low winds moan | F |
| There the true Silence is self conscious and alone | F |
