Desolation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEEF| It seems to me that I have lived alone | A |
| Alone as one that liveth in a dream | B |
| As light on coldest marble or the gleam | B |
| Of moons eternal on a land of stone | A |
| The days have been to me I have but known | A |
| The silence of Thulean lands extreme | B |
| A silence all attending and supreme | B |
| As is the sea's enormous monotone | A |
| Upon the waste no palmed mirages are | C |
| But strange chimeras roam the steely light | D |
| And cold parhelia hang on hilt and scaur | C |
| Where flowers of frost alone have bloomed I crave | E |
| The friendly clasp of finite arms to save | E |
| My spirit from the ravening Infinite | F |
