The Myth Of Arthur Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHIHIJJ| O learned man who never learned to learn | A |
| Save to deduce by timid steps and small | B |
| From towering smoke that fire can never burn | A |
| And from tall tales that men were never tall | B |
| Say have you thought what manner of man it is | C |
| Of who men say He could strike giants down | D |
| Or what strong memories over time's abyss | E |
| Bore up the pomp of Camelot and the crown | D |
| And why one banner all the background fills | F |
| Beyond the pageants of so many spears | G |
| And by what witchery in the western hills | F |
| A throne stands empty for a thousand years | G |
| Who hold unheeding this immense impact | H |
| Immortal story for a mortal sin | I |
| Lest human fable touch historic fact | H |
| Chase myths like moths and fight them with a pin | I |
| Take comfort rest there needs not this ado | J |
| You shall not be a myth I promise you | J |
