To The Chimera Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC CEE CFF| Unknown chimera take us for we tire | A |
| Amid the known monotony of things | B |
| Descend and bearing sunward with bright wings | B |
| Our mounful weariness and sad desire | A |
| - | |
| Pause not to prove the opal shores untrod | C |
| Below thee fading and the fields of rose | D |
| Till on thy horns of planished silver flows | D |
| The sanguine light of Edens lost to God | C |
| - | |
| There for the weary sense insatiate | C |
| Primeval sleep from towering scarlet blooms | E |
| Would fall in slow and infinite perfumes | E |
| - | |
| Or we could leave thy crystal wings elate | C |
| Riding the pagan plain with knees that press | F |
| The golden flanks of some great centauress | F |
