The Burning-ghauts At Benares Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| Dark loom the ghauts against the stream and sky | A |
| The smoke doth rise and wind in columns grey | B |
| Red flare the flames of fagots leaping high | A |
| Then smoulder down as dies the darkling day | B |
| - | |
| Now wendeth a procession mournful slow | C |
| Sharp lined athwart the sun that sets in red | D |
| Upon the pyre they lay the Rajah low | C |
| Impassive mute this is his final bed | D |
| - | |
| Swift leap the crimson flames above the pyre | E |
| As shades of India's night are falling fast | F |
| On high they leap then sinks the fagot fire | E |
| And dieth slow All things must end at last | F |
