A Phantasy Of Twilight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABA CDED FFGH IIJI KKLK| Ere yet the soaring after fire was flown | A |
| I found a city in the twilight lone | A |
| Asleep in lapse of some forgotten land | B |
| And griping horizons of deserts prone | A |
| - | |
| Ah strange with time and ruinous it was | C |
| The seeping sand through idle gates did pass | D |
| The garths were barren and each breasted grave | E |
| Was rock reluctant to the nursling grass | D |
| - | |
| But in the dusking palaces I saw | F |
| Twilight rebuild the broken thrones of Law | F |
| Affording unto fanes long desecrate | G |
| What elder glooms of mystery and awe | H |
| - | |
| And walls and columns in the ghostly gleam | I |
| Lit as with memory of a past supreme | I |
| Held mightier form portentous for awhile | J |
| Ere night should whelm them like a crumbling dream | I |
| - | |
| And lo from courts and arches unconfined | K |
| Rode forth unto some desert bourn assigned | K |
| The evanescent pomps of ghostly dust | L |
| On thin and momentary manes of wind | K |
