The Hope Of The Infinite Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEFFE| My hope is in the unharvestable deep | A |
| That shows with eve the treasure of the stars | B |
| To mournful kings behind their palace bars | B |
| And wanderers outworn and boys who weep | A |
| A shattered bauble or above the sleep | A |
| Of headsmen and of men condemned to die | C |
| Pours out the moon's white mercy from on high | C |
| Or hides with clement gloom the hours that creep | A |
| Like death worms to the grave And I have ta'en | D |
| From storming seas by sunset glorified | E |
| Or from the dawn of ashen wastes and wide | E |
| Some light re gathered from the lamps that wane | F |
| And promise of a translunary Spain | F |
| Where loves forgone and forfeit dreams abide | E |
