Ave Atque Vale: 09 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDEEDE| Thou art far too far for wings of words to follow | A |
| Far too far off for thought or any prayer | B |
| What ails us with thee who art wind and air | B |
| What ails us gazing where all seen is hollow | A |
| Yet with some fancy yet with some desire | C |
| Dreams pursue death as winds a flying fire | C |
| Our dreams pursue our dead and do not find | D |
| Still and more swift than they the thin flame flies | E |
| The low light fails us in elusive skies | E |
| Still the foiled earnest ear is deaf and blind | D |
| Are still the eluded eyes | E |
