The Eternal Snows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCA DECEDC| Above the rugged realm of fir and pine | A |
| Aggressive pinnacles supreme and high | B |
| In snow eternal keenly pierce the sky | B |
| Inviolately white save when the shine | A |
| Of morning hues them or the sunset's wine | A |
| Doth drench their slopes in crimson Pure they lie | B |
| Beyond all earthly dreams of purity | C |
| And hieroglyphed with Beauty's mystic sign | A |
| - | |
| O snows remote untrod that gleam secure | D |
| From all the desecrating years of Time | E |
| That vestal still shall front Eternity | C |
| Thou art to me as some Ideal sublime | E |
| That from its eminence unwon and pure | D |
| Speaks with the voice of what my soul might be | C |
