The Dead Poet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCCDEFFGGHHIIBBJ JEDKKLMNOPQBB| Never again shall he with wizard sleight | A |
| Ensare on threshold of his soul the bright | A |
| Unearthly splendors that would oft alight | A |
| And in the magic web of melody | B |
| Display them flashing as when they were free | B |
| Never again shall he be inflamed by Spring | C |
| Soar to the gods to hear Apollo sing | C |
| Songs ah so sweet and with so tense a lyre | D |
| They seemed as nectar flowing through white fire | E |
| Never again shall he fold truths in rhyme | F |
| And thrust them clinging 'neath the wings of Time | F |
| Shape a fine fancy with unfaltering taste | G |
| Fondling the colors that the sounds embraced | G |
| Or with eyes dim from dreaming watch the slow | H |
| Ascending sun's plume on a fervid glow | H |
| And pinions palely spreading far away | I |
| Or hear at night when on his couch he lay | I |
| The moaning of the moonlit toiling sea | B |
| With burden of o'erwhelming memory | B |
| Seeming to carry in an undertone | J |
| Rumors of dauntless heroes he had known | J |
| Who bearded even gods to glut desire | E |
| And fought beneath the thunder of their ire | D |
| Lured by the glamor of translunar dreams | K |
| He chased through mist the ever fleeting gleams | K |
| Aloof from wealth's red bubbled vanities | L |
| Contented to be thought not worldly wise | M |
| Since he when flamed the mantle of the seer | N |
| In mood majestic trod the magian sphere | O |
| Where nature's veil at his authentic glance | P |
| Fell quivering from her fire bright countenance | Q |
| And heard like an abysmal heaving sea | B |
| The movement of the Eternal Harmony | B |
