Memnon At Midnight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCCCD| Methought upon the tomb encumbered shore | A |
| I stood of Egypt's lone monarchal stream | B |
| And saw immortal Memnon throned supreme | B |
| In gloom as of that Memphian night of yore | A |
| Fold upon fold purpureal he wore | A |
| Beneath the star borne canopy extreme | B |
| Carven of silence and colossal dream | B |
| Where waters flowed like sleep forevermore | A |
| - | |
| Lo in the darkness thick with dust of years | C |
| How many a ghostly god around his throne | D |
| With thronging wings that were forgotten Fames | C |
| Stood ere the dawn restore to ancient ears | C |
| The long withholden thunder of their names | C |
| And music stilled to monumental stone | D |
