How Grey The World Was Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGBHBIIHow grey the world was with its memories | A |
How dark even this gay room where the motes run | B |
How black these curtains thick with murder cries | C |
These chairs this floor with things slain in the sun | B |
'Twas here I strangled love a year ago | D |
And hid it 'neath these pillows drenched in blood | E |
As a mad mother her sweet babe of woe | D |
Too strong to die too fair which shrieks aloud | F |
How black and bare and bitter the world was | G |
Just yesterday To day this room dear Heaven | B |
What laughters fill it what light footsteps pass | H |
See the white chairs dance round me pleasure driven | B |
And these sad pillows where I wept blab out | I |
The news that you are here in psalm and shout | I |
