Tezcotzinco Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDED| Though thou art now a ruin bare and cold | A |
| Thou wert sometime the garden of a king | B |
| The birds have sought a lovelier place to sing | B |
| The flowers are few It was not so of old | A |
| It was not thus when hand in hand there strolled | A |
| Through arbors perfumed with undying Spring | B |
| Bare bodies beautiful brown glistening | B |
| Decked with green plumes and rings of yellow gold | A |
| Do you suppose the herdsman sometimes hears | C |
| Vague echoes borne beneath the moon's pale ray | D |
| From those old old far off forgotten years | E |
| Who knows Here where his ancient kings held sway | D |
| He stands Their names are strangers to his ears | E |
| Even their memory has passed away | D |
