Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEDFGGF HIIH JKKJ LMMN OPPO| So careful of the type but no | A |
| From scarped cliff and quarried stone | B |
| She cries A thousand types are gone | C |
| I care for nothing all shall go | A |
| Thou makest thine appeal to me | D |
| I bring to life I bring to death | E |
| The spirit does but mean the breath | E |
| I know no more And he shall he | D |
| Man her last work who seem'd so fair | F |
| Such splendid purpose in his eyes | G |
| Who roll'd the psalm to wintry skies | G |
| Who built him fanes of fruitless prayer | F |
| - | |
| Who trusted God was love indeed | H |
| And love Creation's final law | I |
| Tho' Nature red in tooth and claw | I |
| With ravine shriek'd against his creed | H |
| - | |
| Who loved who suffer'd countless ills | J |
| Who battled for the True the Just | K |
| Be blown about the desert dust | K |
| Or seal'd within the iron hills | J |
| - | |
| No more A monster then a dream | L |
| A discord Dragons of the prime | M |
| That tare each other in their slime | M |
| Were mellow music match'd with him | N |
| - | |
| O life as futile then as frail | O |
| O for thy voice to soothe and bless | P |
| What hope of answer or redress | P |
| Behind the veil behind the veil | O |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
