A Later Alexandrian Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBABCCDBD| An inspiration caught from dubious hues | A |
| Filled him and mystic wrynesses he chased | B |
| For they lead farther than the single faced | B |
| Wave subtler promise when desire pursues | A |
| The moon of cloud discoloured was his Muse | A |
| His pipe the reed of the old moaning waste | B |
| Love was to him with anguish fast enlaced | B |
| And Beauty where she walked blood shot the dews | A |
| Men railed at such a singer women thrilled | B |
| Responsively he sang not Nature's own | C |
| Divinest but his lyric had a tone | C |
| As 'twere a forest echo of her voice | D |
| What barrenly they yearn for seemed distilled | B |
| From what they dread who do through tears rejoice | D |
