The Troglodyte Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABCBCCABAB DDDEEEFGFG| In ages dead a troglodyte | A |
| At the hollow roots of a monster height | A |
| That grew from the heart of the world to light | A |
| I dwelt in caverns over me | B |
| Were mountains older than the moon | C |
| And forests vaster than the sea | B |
| And gulfs that the earthquake's hand had hewn | C |
| Hung under me And late and soon | C |
| I heard the d mon of change that sighed | A |
| A cosmic language of mystery | B |
| While life sat silent primeval eyed | A |
| With the infant spirit of prophecy | B |
| - | |
| Gaunt stars glared down on the Titan peaks | D |
| And the gaunter glare of the cratered streaks | D |
| Of the sunset's ruin heard condor shrieks | D |
| The roar of cataracts hurled in air | E |
| And the hurricane laying his thunders bare | E |
| And rush of battling beasts whose lair | E |
| Was the antechamber of nadir gloom | F |
| Were my outworld joys But who shall tell | G |
| The awe of the depths that heard the boom | F |
| Of the iron rivers that fashioned Hell | G |
