Sphinx-money Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA BCCBCB| Where Pyramids and temple wrecks are piled | A |
| Confusedly on camel coloured sands | B |
| And the mute Arab motionlessly stands | B |
| Like some swart god who never wept or smiled | A |
| I picked up mummy relics of the wild | A |
| And sea shells once with clutching baby hands | B |
| And felt a wafture from old Motherlands | B |
| And all the morning wonder of a Child | A |
| - | |
| To find Sphinx money So the Beduin calls | B |
| Small fossils of the waste Nay poet's gold | C |
| 'Twill give thee entrance to those rites of old | C |
| When hundred gated Thebes with storied walls | B |
| Gleamed o'er her Plain and vast processions rolled | C |
| To Amon Ra through Karnak's pillared halls | B |
