The Mummy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECED| From out the light of many a mightier day | A |
| From Pharaonic splendour Memphian gloom | B |
| And from the night aeonian of the tomb | B |
| They brought him forth to meet the modern ray | A |
| Upon his brow the unbroken seal of clay | A |
| While gods have gone to a forgotten doom | B |
| And desolation and the dust assume | B |
| Temple and cot immingling in decay | A |
| - | |
| From out the everlasting womb sublime | C |
| Of cyclopean death within a land | D |
| Of tombs and cities rotting in the sun | E |
| He is reborn to mock the might of time | C |
| While kings have built against Oblivion | E |
| With walls and columns of the windy sand | D |
