Copan Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA AACDAAD| Around its walls the forests of the west | A |
| Gloom as about some mystery's final pale | B |
| Might lie its multifold exterior veil | B |
| Sculptured with signs and meanings unconfessed | A |
| Its lordly fanes and palaces attest | A |
| A past before whose wall of darkness fail | B |
| Reason and fancy finding not the tale | B |
| Erased by time from history's palimpest | A |
| - | |
| Within this place that from the gloom of Eld | A |
| Still meets the light a people came and went | A |
| Like whirls of dust between its columns | C |
| blown | D |
| An alien race whose record shadow held | A |
| Is sealed with those of others long forespent | A |
| That died in sunless planets lost and lone | D |
