The Unappeasable Host Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFE| The Danaan children laugh in cradles of wrought gold | A |
| And clap their hands together and half close their eyes | B |
| For they will ride the North when the ger eagle flies | B |
| With heavy whitening wings and a heart fallen cold | A |
| I kiss my wailing child and press it to my breast | C |
| And hear the narrow graves calling my child and me | D |
| Desolate winds that cry over the wandering sea | D |
| Desolate winds that hover in the flaming West | C |
| Desolate winds that beat the doors of Heaven and beat | E |
| The doors of Hell and blow there many a whimpering ghost | F |
| O heart the winds have shaken the unappeasable host | F |
| Is comelier than candles at Mother Mary's feet | E |
