Baktschi Serai Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCDD| In ruin are the spacious splendid halls | A |
| With frozen forest of white columns where | B |
| The Tartar Khan his palace builded fair | B |
| Where loneliest the shrilling cricket calls | A |
| The ivy blackens over shining walls | A |
| Enscribing in gigantic letters there | B |
| Some curse Belshazzar like Beware Beware | B |
| Then black as crepe from crested columns falls | A |
| - | |
| Within the burnished banquet room there sings | C |
| The fountain of the harem pure and clear | D |
| Just as of old it sang in twilights drear | D |
| But whither love and fame speed on what wings | C |
| When all things else must perish these endure | D |
| Yet both are gone The fountain ripples pure | D |
