At Stonehenge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGDGD| Grim stones whose gray lips keep your secret well | A |
| Our hands that touch you touch an ancient terror | B |
| An ancient woe colossal citadel | A |
| Of some fierce faith some heaven affronting error | B |
| Rude built as if young Titans on this wold | C |
| Once played with ponderous blocks a striding giant | D |
| Had brought from oversea till child more bold | C |
| Tumbled their temple down with foot defiant | D |
| Upon your fatal altar Redbreast combs | E |
| A fluttering plume and flocks of eager swallows | F |
| Dip fearlessly to choose their April homes | E |
| Amid your crevices and storm beat hollows | F |
| Even so in elemental mysteries | G |
| Portentous vast august uncomprehended | D |
| Do we dispose our little lives for ease | G |
| By their unconscious courtesies befriended | D |
