Echo Of Memnon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EDDE BDDB| I wandered ere the dream was done | A |
| Where over Nilus' nenuphars | B |
| With all its ears of quivering stars | B |
| The darkness listened for the sun | A |
| - | |
| Ere shadows were ere night was gone | C |
| I found the one whom suns had sought | D |
| And waiting at his feet methought | D |
| Had speech with Memnon in the dawn | C |
| - | |
| Sad as the last lamenting star | E |
| He sang and clear as morning's gold | D |
| Unto his voice I saw unfold | D |
| The hesitant pale nenuphar | E |
| - | |
| But dolorous like the peal of dooms | B |
| And proclamation of the night | D |
| The waste returned that voice of light | D |
| With echo from its hollow tombs | B |
