On Seeing The Elgin Marbles For The First Time Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCDEDEDE| My spirit is too weak mortality | A |
| Weighs heavily on me like unwilling sleep | B |
| And each imagined pinnacle and steep | B |
| Of godlike hardship tells me I must die | C |
| Like a sick eagle looking at the sky | C |
| Yet 'tis a gentle luxury to weep | B |
| That I have not the cloudy winds to keep | B |
| Fresh for the opening of the morning's eye | C |
| Such dim conceived glories of the brain | D |
| Bring round the heart an indescribable feud | E |
| So do these wonders a most dizzy pain | D |
| That mingles Grecian grandeur with the rude | E |
| Wasting of old Time with a billowy main | D |
| A sun a shadow of a magnitude | E |
John Keats
