The Song Of Shadows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE AGHGIJKJ

Sweep thy faint strings MusicianA
With thy long lean handB
Downward the starry tapers burnC
Sinks soft the waning sandB
The old hound whimpers couched in sleepD
The embers smoulder lowE
Across the walls the shadowsF
Come and goE
-
Sweep softly thy strings MusicianA
The minutes mount to hoursG
Frost on the windless casement weavesH
A labyrinth of flowersG
Ghosts linger in the darkening airI
Hearken at the open doorJ
Music hath called them dreamingK
Home once moreJ
