The Kings Are Passing Deathward Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGG| The Kings are passing deathward in the dark | A |
| Of days that had been splendid where they went | B |
| Their crowns are captive and their courts are stark | A |
| Of purples that are ruinous now and rent | B |
| For all that they have seen disastrous things | C |
| The shattered pomp the split and shaken throne | D |
| They cannot quite forget the way of Kings | C |
| Gravely they pass majestic and alone | D |
| - | |
| With thunder on their brows their faces set | E |
| Toward the eternal night of restless shapes | F |
| They walk in awful splendor regal yet | E |
| Wearing their crimes like rich and kingly capes | F |
| Curse them or taunt they will not hear or see | G |
| The Kings are passing deathward let them be | G |
