The Harbour Of The Past Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCCCCC| Watched over by insuperable peaks | A |
| Beneath a leaden sky and copper sun | B |
| Surrounded by a desert treeless dun | B |
| Where never comes a cloud nor tempest shrieks | A |
| In that still haven lie with idle beaks | A |
| And lifeless sails the Years their voyage run | B |
| The harbour the the Past forever won | B |
| That each dead epoch with its cargo seeks | A |
| - | |
| The shore by lurid beacon fires is gemmed | C |
| Whose light stains as with blood the billows spent | C |
| And sepulchres are strewn the whole extent | C |
| Betwixt the mountains and the water hemmed | C |
| White tombs of kings once augustly enthroned | C |
| And now by listless dusty winds bemoaned | C |
