Seeker Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJKL MLNO PQRH

In valleys where the lotos fallsA
And rots by lily stifled streamsB
A sleeper dreaming of the seaC
Shall rise and leave the halcyon lawnsD
-
And follow fainting trails aloneE
Into the waste that has no wellF
Of fare on some fantasmal questG
To climes beyond the boreal snowH
-
For sated with the lotos fruitI
He craves again the vanishing brineJ
The sunken ships the siren islesK
The maelstroms haunted by the mewL
-
Amid chimera and mirageM
He plucks the acrid outland pomeL
And mordent herbs that make him wholeN
And trails the meteor and the starO
-
To leave this vulture burnished bonesP
In lands of knightlier sleep than theyQ
Shall haply share whose bones are laidR
Where now the lotos blossoms blowH
