A Symbol Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCDC| Hurrying for ever in their restless flight | A |
| The generations of earth's teeming womb | B |
| Rise into being and lapse into the tomb | B |
| Like transient bubbles sparkling in the light | A |
| They sink in quick succession out of sight | A |
| Into the thick insuperable gloom | B |
| Our futile lives in flashing by illume | B |
| Lightning which mocks the darkness of the night | A |
| - | |
| Nay but consider though we change and die | C |
| If men must pass shall Man not still remain | D |
| As the unnumbered drops of summer rain | D |
| Whose changing particles unchanged on high | C |
| Fixed in perpetual motion yet maintain | D |
| The mystic bow emblazoned on the sky | C |
