Sphinx And Medusa Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBC DEFDEF| The old constraint of an essential bond | A |
| Hath linkt them in my mind opposed they stare | B |
| Twin silences that through Time's Otherwhere | B |
| The ruinous past thus each to each respond | A |
| One with mysterious gaze that sees beyond | A |
| The straining suns calm as the voidness there | B |
| And one with eyes like deserts of despair | B |
| Flameless as granite clear as diamond | C |
| - | |
| They gaze across the past Yet thought must see | D |
| That eve of time when man no longer yearns | E |
| Grown deaf before Life's Sphinx whose lips are barred | F |
| When from the spaces of Eternity | D |
| Silence a rigorous Medusa turns | E |
| On the lost world the stress of her regard | F |
