Image Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EDDE FBBF| Calm as a long forgotten marble god who smiles | A |
| Colossal in the grim serenity of stone | B |
| Upon the broken pillars lying all alone | B |
| Athwart the horizon's infinite and yellow miles | A |
| - | |
| Whom neither desert darkness nor the desert noon | C |
| Nor dawns that render terrible the bare dead land | D |
| Nor winds that wrap his mighty form in palls of sand | D |
| Nor the Medusa of the dumb and stony moon | C |
| - | |
| Shall evermore dismay nor lion nor the lynx | E |
| With silken sheath d claws and eyes of golden glede | D |
| Nor any griffin from the gates of treasure freed | D |
| To roam the gulfs nor any wild and wandering sphinx | E |
| - | |
| Even thus amid the waste of all fair things that were | F |
| Of high marmoreal dreams immense and overthrown | B |
| I wait forever and about my face is blown | B |
| The sand of crumbling cenotaph and sepulcher | F |
