Methought I Saw The Footsteps Of A Throne Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDADEAD| METHOUGHT I saw the footsteps of a throne | A |
| Which mists and vapours from mine eyes did shroud | B |
| Nor view of who might sit thereon allowed | B |
| But all the steps and ground about were strown | A |
| With sights the ruefullest that flesh and bone | A |
| Ever put on a miserable crowd | B |
| Sick hale old young who cried before that cloud | B |
| 'Thou art our king O Death to thee we groan ' | C |
| Those steps I clomb the mists before me gave | D |
| Smooth way and I beheld the face of one | A |
| Sleeping alone within a mossy cave | D |
| With her face up to heaven that seemed to have | E |
| Pleasing remembrance of a thought foregone | A |
| A lovely Beauty in a summer grave | D |
