Nemesis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEFGDG| All things must fade There is for cities tall | A |
| The same tomorrow as for daffodils | B |
| Time's wind that casts the seed the petal spills | B |
| Grim London's ruined arches yet shall fall | A |
| Back to the arms of Earth A quiet pall | C |
| The mother draws over those she loves and kills | B |
| And though brief nations vaunt their upstart wills | B |
| The nemesis of grass shall cover all | A |
| So from a caravan to Mecca bound | D |
| Getting no more than one incurious glance | E |
| Tremendous Babylon thrice girt with walls | F |
| Sick of her thousand years of arrogance | G |
| With a few tamarisks upon a mound | D |
| Her epigraph upon the desert scrawls | G |
