Forgotten Songs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABCDEFDEGHI| There is a splendid tropic flower which flings | A |
| Its fiery disc wide open to the core | B |
| One pulse of subtlest fragrance once a life | C |
| That rounds a century of blossoming things | A |
| And dies a flower's apotheosis nevermore | B |
| To send up in the sunshine in sweet strife | C |
| With all the winds a fountain of live flame | D |
| A winged censer in the starlight swung | E |
| Once only flinging all its wealth abroad | F |
| To the wide deserts without shore or name | D |
| And dying like a lovely song once sung | E |
| By some dead poet music's wandering ghost | G |
| Aeons ago blown oat of life and lost | H |
| Remembered only in the heart of God | I |
