Thebaid Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI JKLMNOP QRSTUEVWX| Here is the solitude | A |
| Unknown to Stylites or Anthony | B |
| A place of bleak illumination | C |
| Clean stripped of clouds and dust | D |
| Ultimate as the apogean moon | E |
| Where codes and cults philosophies and gods | F |
| Thin out and varnish on the waste and vast | G |
| Like smoke of fires gone cold | H |
| In nomad camps deserted yesterday | I |
| - | |
| Here is the infinite unveiled | J |
| In visions not of evil or of good | K |
| And the night looks down on us | L |
| With only suns for eyes | M |
| And knowledge is our delirium | N |
| The bringer of new appearances | O |
| The breeder of new apparitions | P |
| - | |
| What shall we do | Q |
| For whom the heavens are throneless and there is | R |
| No demon prince to supplicate and serve | S |
| Shall we pray for succor to the rocks | T |
| Or beg the sea for aid | U |
| The breath of prayer the windiness of imploration | E |
| Puffs not against the gale | V |
| Nor blows with it in power and violence | W |
| Beyond the failing of the owlet's cry | X |
