Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE EGGE| Unto the portal of the House of Song | A |
| Symbols of wrong and emblems of unrest | B |
| And mottoes of despair and envious jest | B |
| And stony masks of scorn and hate belong | A |
| - | |
| Who enters here shall feel his soul denied | C |
| All welcome lo the chiselled form of Love | D |
| That stares in marble on the shrine above | D |
| The tomb of Beauty where he dreamed and died | C |
| - | |
| Who enters here shall know no poppyflowers | E |
| Of Rest or harp tones of serene Content | F |
| Only sad ghosts of music and of scent | F |
| Shall mock the mind with their remembered powers | E |
| - | |
| Here must he wait till striving patience carves | E |
| His name upon the century storied floor | G |
| His heart's blood staining one dim pane the more | G |
| In Fame's high casement while he sings and starves | E |
