To Time. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACABABABCBCB| In Fancy's eye what an extended span | A |
| Time hoary herald has been stretch'd by thee | B |
| Vain to conceive where thy dark burst began | A |
| Thou birthless boundless vast immensity | C |
| Vain all conceptions of weak minded man | A |
| Thee to unravel from thy mystery | B |
| In mortal wisdom thou'st already ran | A |
| A circled travel of eternity | B |
| Still but a moment of thy mighty plan | A |
| Seems yet unwound from what thy age shall see | B |
| Consuming Tyrant of all mortal kind | C |
| And what thou art and what thou art to be | B |
| Is known to none but that Immortal Mind | C |
| Who reigns alone superior to thee | B |
