The Absence Of The Muse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBABCDCBD| O Muse where loiterest thou In any land | A |
| Of Saturn lit with moons and nenuphars | B |
| Or in what high metropolis of Mars | B |
| Hearing the gongs of dire occult command | A |
| And bugles blown from strand to unknown strand | A |
| Of continents embattled in old wars | B |
| That primal kings began Or on the bars | B |
| Of ebbing seas in Venus from the sand | A |
| Of shattered nacre with a thousand hues | B |
| Dost pluck the blossoms of the purple wrack | C |
| And roses of blue coral for thy hair | D |
| Or flown beyond the roaring Zodiac | C |
| Translatest thou the tale of earthly news | B |
| And earthly songs to singers of Altair | D |
