Alternative Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDDC EEFGGGF| Who turns him from his earthly love | A |
| Must other lovers meet and prove | B |
| Through plunging lands careened from light | C |
| Into the crimson starred abyss | D |
| He goes by sunken stairs to kiss | D |
| The coal hot lips of Baaltis | D |
| And Lilith in the nether night | C |
| - | |
| Or else on mountains noonward piled | E |
| He climbs the planished walls beguiled | E |
| By wispy wavering spectres born | F |
| Of snow and sun till starkly mad | G |
| In some delirium strange and glad | G |
| He clasps an ice limbed oread | G |
| Upon the slippery silver horn | F |
