Odes Of A Boy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| Fades the great pyramid the blank walls fade | A |
| And thou immortal boy dost walk with me | B |
| Along that grove from out whose deeper shade | A |
| The nightingale sings living ecstasy | B |
| - | |
| And where thy burial stone so long is set | C |
| With plaintive lines that tell a day's despair | D |
| Lo now that urn with happy figures fret | C |
| Which cannot fail but go eternal fair | D |
| - | |
| Yet suddenly the wind of death is blown | E |
| On all earth 's beauty even at its prime | F |
| The red rose drops the hand of Joy is flown | E |
| And thou oh thou art dust this long long time | F |
