The Cold Heaven Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACADADAEAFSuddenly I saw the cold and rook delighting heaven | A |
That seemed as though ice burned and was but the more ice | B |
And thereupon imagination and heart were driven | A |
So wild that every casual thought of that and this | C |
Vanished and left but memories that should be out of season | A |
With the hot blood of youth of love crossed long ago | D |
And I took all thc blame out of all sense and reason | A |
Until I cried and trembled and rocked to and fro | D |
Riddled with light Ah when the ghost begins to quicken | A |
Confusion of the death bed over is it sent | E |
Out naked on the roads as the books say and stricken | A |
By the injustice of the skies for punishment | F |
