Alma Mater Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEFFE| He knocked and I beheld him at the door | A |
| A vision for the gods to verify | B |
| What battered ancientry is this thought I | B |
| And when if ever did we meet before | A |
| But ask him as I might I got no more | A |
| For answer than a moaning and a cry | B |
| Too late to parley but in time to die | B |
| He staggered and lay shapeless on the floor | A |
| - | |
| When had I known him And what brought him here | C |
| Love warning malediction hunger fear | D |
| Surely I never thwarted such as he | E |
| Again what soiled obscurity was this | F |
| Out of what scum and up from what abyss | F |
| Had they arrived these rags of memory | E |
