Earth's Eternity Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCDDAEADA| Man Earth's poor shadow talks of Earth's decay | A |
| But hath it nothing of eternal kin | B |
| No majesty that shall not pass away | A |
| No soul of greatness springing up within | B |
| Thought marks without hoar shadows of sublime | C |
| Pictures of power which if not doomed to win | B |
| Eternity stand laughing at old Time | C |
| For ages in the grand ancestral line | D |
| Of things eternal mounting to divine | D |
| I read Magnificence where ages pay | A |
| Worship like conquered foes to the Apennine | E |
| Because they could not conquer There sits Day | A |
| Too high for Night to come at mountains shine | D |
| Outpeering Time too lofty for decay | A |
