Lethe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCEED| I flow beneath the columns that upbear | A |
| The world and all the tracts of heaven and hell | B |
| Foamless I sweep where sounds nor glimmers tell | B |
| My motion nadir ward no moment's flare | A |
| Gives each to each the shapes that unaware | A |
| Commingle at my verge to test the spell | B |
| Of waves intense with night whose deeps compel | B |
| One face from pain and rapture and despair | A |
| - | |
| The fruitless earth's denied and cheated sons | C |
| Meet here where fruitful and unfruitful cease | D |
| And when their lords the mightier hidden Ones | C |
| Have drained all worlds till being's wine is low | E |
| Shall they not come and from the oblivious flow | E |
| Drink at one draught a universe of peace | D |
