Middle-aged Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB CBACD EDFDDGDHIJK JFL MI| Tis but a vague invarious delight | A |
| As gold that rains about some buried king | B |
| - | |
| As the fine flakes | C |
| When tourists frolicking | B |
| Stamp on his roof or in the glazing light | A |
| Try photographs wolf down their ale and cakes | C |
| And start to inspect some further pyramid | D |
| - | |
| As the fine dust in the hid cell | E |
| Beneath their transitory step and merriment | D |
| Drifts through the air and the sarcophagus | F |
| Gains yet another crust | D |
| Of useless riches for the occupant | D |
| So I the fires that lit once dreams | G |
| Now over and spent | D |
| Lie dead within four walls | H |
| And so now love | I |
| Rains down and so enriches some stiff case | J |
| And strews a mind with precious metaphors | K |
| - | |
| And so the space | J |
| Of my still consciousness | F |
| Is full of gilded snow | L |
| - | |
| The which no cat has eyes enough | M |
| To see the brightness of | I |
