The Return Of Hyperion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFGH AAAIJIKIALAMANOPQ| The dungeon clefts of Tartarus | A |
| Are close beyond the mountains | A |
| That are bound like a giant's girdle | B |
| About the unstirred unbreathing east | C |
| Alike on mountain and plain | D |
| The night is as some iron dream | E |
| That closes the soul in a crypt of dread | F |
| Apart from touch or sense of earth | G |
| As in the space of eternity | H |
| - | |
| What unseen light perturbs the darkness | A |
| Behold it stirs and fluctuates | A |
| Between the mountains and the stars | A |
| That are set as guards above the prison | I |
| Of the captive Titan god I know | J |
| That in the depths beneath Hyperion | I |
| Divides the pillared vault of dark | K |
| And briefly stands upon its ruin | I |
| Then light is laid upon the peaks | A |
| As the hand of one who climbs beyond | L |
| And now the sun The sentinel stars | A |
| Are dead with overpotent flame | M |
| And in their place Hyperion stands | A |
| The night is loosened from the land | N |
| As a dream from the mind of the dreamer | O |
| A great wind blows across the dawn | P |
| Like the wind of the movement of the world | Q |
