Nirvana Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACDACD| Poised as a god whose lone detach d post | A |
| A eyrie pends between the boundary marks | B |
| Of finite years and those unvaried darks | B |
| That veil Eternity I saw the host | A |
| Of suns and worlds swept from the furthermost | A |
| Of night confusion as of dust with sparks | B |
| Whirl toward the opposing brink as one who harks | B |
| Some warning trumpet Time a withered ghost | A |
| Fled with them disunited orbs that late | A |
| Were atoms of the universal frame | C |
| They passed to some eternal fragment heap | D |
| And lo the gods from space discorporate | A |
| Who were its life and vital spirit came | C |
| Drawn voidward by the vampire lips of Sleep | D |
