Nirvana Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACDACDPoised 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 |
