A Fragment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC CBDDE FEFGHHGIJJKIKK| O pouring westering streams | A |
| Shouting that I have leapt the mountain bar | B |
| Down curve on curve my journey's white way gleams | A |
| My road along the river of return | C |
| - | |
| I know the countries where the white moons burn | C |
| And heavy star on star | B |
| Dips on the pale and crystal desert hills | D |
| I know the river of the sun that fills | D |
| With founts of gold the lakes of Orient sky | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| And I have heard a voice of broken seas | F |
| And from the cliffs a cry | E |
| Ah still they learn those cave eared Cyclades | F |
| The Triton's friendly or his fearful horn | G |
| And why the deep sea bells but seldom chime | H |
| And how those waves and with what spell swept rhyme | H |
| In years of morning on a summer's morn | G |
| Whispering round his castle on the coast | I |
| Lured young Achilles from his haunted sleep | J |
| And drave him out to dive beyond those deep | J |
| Dim purple windows of the empty swell | K |
| His ivory body flitting like a ghost | I |
| Over the holes where flat blind fishes dwell | K |
| All to embrace his mother thron d in her shell | K |
