Epitaph For The Earth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFBGHIJKBBLBMN OPBQBRBS| Somewhere in Space the disunited dust | A |
| That formed a visible comparted world | B |
| Floats in unnoticed formlessness nor mars | C |
| With stain of fleck the ethereal claritude | B |
| Of vacancy nor with its monads driven | D |
| Separate irrelevant athwart the suns | E |
| Impedes the tangled multidudinous passage | F |
| Of rays that cross each other like the thrust | B |
| Of unrelenting swords | G |
| The tombs that tooth | H |
| With granite mouths successive glut of Life | I |
| At last are not distinguished from the lips | J |
| Of earlier crumbled earth And man himself | K |
| An evanescent peak of foam that pointed | B |
| One wave subsided now of matter's tide | B |
| Leaves but bequest of stories that he took | L |
| From forms long antecedent that were not | B |
| As he that shall not thus combine again | M |
| In all the future sequences of Change | N |
| - | |
| With hope of some far off supernal goal | O |
| Changeless and independent of the years | P |
| He strove on low and shifting ways and sent | B |
| Commissioned dreams ethereal wing'd before | Q |
| On summits that achievement's laggard feet | B |
| Scarcely approached till on one lesser peak | R |
| He knew his own futility at last | B |
| Himself an immaterial trick of Chance | S |
