The Nameless Wraith Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHG FIJF| As one who seeks the silver moth of night | A |
| Where moonless gardens lose the afterglow | B |
| My soul went forth ineffably to know | B |
| Some vaguer vision unrevealed of light | A |
| - | |
| From halcyon fells whereon the falcons range | C |
| From Hesper and the sunsets mountain born | D |
| And From the trembling freshness of the morn | D |
| I turned me to a dreamland still and strange | C |
| - | |
| It seemed the hueless ashes of the day | E |
| And darkened glories filled that glooming world | F |
| The spectrum of hesternal suns was furled | F |
| In immemorial valleys vast and grey | E |
| - | |
| Ruins and wrecks of many a foundered year | G |
| Doubtfully known bestrewed the unvisioned verge | H |
| Where from unsounding reaches of blind surge | H |
| Some nameless wraith of beauty fluttered near | G |
| - | |
| Was it the dove from shrines of lost delight | F |
| The nightingale from love's necropolis | I |
| What dream led messenger of time's abyss | J |
| Came from the dark and vanished in the night | F |
