The City Of The Titans Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EEF GGF| I saw a city in a lonely land | A |
| Foursquare it fronted upon gulfs of fire | B |
| Behind the night of Erebus hung entire | B |
| And deserts gloomed or glimmered on each hand | A |
| - | |
| Sunken it seemed past any star or sun | C |
| Yet strong with bastion proud with tower and dome | D |
| An archetypal Titan builded Rome | D |
| Dread thunder named the seat of gods foredone | C |
| - | |
| Outreaching time beyond destruction based | E |
| Immensely piled upon the prostrate waste | E |
| And cinctured with insuperable deeps | F |
| - | |
| The city dreamed in darkness evermore | G |
| Pregnant with crypts of terrible strange lore | G |
| And doom fraught arsenals in lampless keeps | F |
