Earth's Eternity Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCDDAEADA

Man Earth's poor shadow talks of Earth's decayA
But hath it nothing of eternal kinB
No majesty that shall not pass awayA
No soul of greatness springing up withinB
Thought marks without hoar shadows of sublimeC
Pictures of power which if not doomed to winB
Eternity stand laughing at old TimeC
For ages in the grand ancestral lineD
Of things eternal mounting to divineD
I read Magnificence where ages payA
Worship like conquered foes to the ApennineE
Because they could not conquer There sits DayA
Too high for Night to come at mountains shineD
Outpeering Time too lofty for decayA

John Clare
