The Great Breath Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CACA DEDE| Its edges foam'd with amethyst and rose | A |
| Withers once more the old blue flower of day | B |
| There where the ether like a diamond glows | A |
| Its petals fade away | B |
| - | |
| A shadowy tumult stirs the dusky air | C |
| Sparkle the delicate dews the distant snows | A |
| The great deep thrills for through it everywhere | C |
| The breath of Beauty blows | A |
| - | |
| I saw how all the trembling ages past | D |
| Moulded to her by deep and deeper breath | E |
| Near'd to the hour when Beauty breathes her last | D |
| And knows herself in death | E |
