Ye Shall Return Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJKL MNOP QRST| Ye who have dwelt in palaces | A |
| Opulent and decayed and lone | B |
| Upon oblivion's closer shore | C |
| But in some daemon stirred unrest | D |
| - | |
| Departing thence sojourn awhile | E |
| By fevered fens and driven seas | F |
| Or in the moil of towns unclean | G |
| And fumes of toiling titan fires | H |
| - | |
| Or climb the sharpened mountain horns | I |
| To see earth's kingdoms gleam afar | J |
| Litters with promise and mirage | K |
| Beneath a mistless diamond vault | L |
| - | |
| Or pausing in Mylitta's vales | M |
| At yonic altars carved to sin | N |
| Purchase the ancient carnal kiss | O |
| Forewritten on the lips of clay | P |
| - | |
| Know surely that ye shall return | Q |
| Into the shadow land ye left | R |
| And draw again your languored breath | S |
| Where breathe the poppies of the dusk | T |
