Seeker Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJKL MLNO PQRH| In valleys where the lotos falls | A |
| And rots by lily stifled streams | B |
| A sleeper dreaming of the sea | C |
| Shall rise and leave the halcyon lawns | D |
| - | |
| And follow fainting trails alone | E |
| Into the waste that has no well | F |
| Of fare on some fantasmal quest | G |
| To climes beyond the boreal snow | H |
| - | |
| For sated with the lotos fruit | I |
| He craves again the vanishing brine | J |
| The sunken ships the siren isles | K |
| The maelstroms haunted by the mew | L |
| - | |
| Amid chimera and mirage | M |
| He plucks the acrid outland pome | L |
| And mordent herbs that make him whole | N |
| And trails the meteor and the star | O |
| - | |
| To leave this vulture burnished bones | P |
| In lands of knightlier sleep than they | Q |
| Shall haply share whose bones are laid | R |
| Where now the lotos blossoms blow | H |
