To George Sterling (his) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECFE| His song shall waken the dull sleeping throng | A |
| That dreams of sullen and of earth bound things | B |
| He soars with Beauty where the Eternal sings | B |
| And the Deep's insuperable chants prolong | A |
| The everlasting sovereignties of Song | A |
| Where caverned thunder from the mountains flings | B |
| Its dirge o'er the dust of crumbled thrones and kings | B |
| He stands defiant of Oblivion's wrong | A |
| - | |
| But ampler Liberty divine and strange | C |
| Hums in the song of his Promethean lyre | D |
| An echo of lost Time's immortal ones | E |
| The tangled webs of mortal Death and Change | C |
| Perish before his chanting lyric fire | F |
| That gleams in the paling light of sinking suns | E |
