Inheritance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKL GDMNA| Of all the sovereignty thine eyes obtain | A |
| Thy grant of vision from the royal sun | B |
| And all thine appanage of lordly dream | C |
| The dust wherewith the worm is parcener | D |
| Waits with perennial claim nor will resign | E |
| Its right in thee All glories and all gleams | F |
| The seven splendors that inform the light | G |
| And beauties immemorial as the moon | H |
| Robing the barren world all which thine eyes | I |
| Hold for inheritance at length shall fill | J |
| The blindness and oblivion of the grave | K |
| And leave it dark | L |
| - | |
| With dustiness and night | G |
| Upon thy mouth of stary proud desire | D |
| With slumber for thy dreams thou wilt repose | M |
| Nor startle when the lazy loitering worm | N |
| Is slow to leave the tavern of thy brain | A |
