The Colossi Of The Plain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBC DEDFGE| Ancient of Days Before the Trojan Wars | A |
| You towered as now in your colossal prime | B |
| Watching the rosy footed morning climb | B |
| O'er far Arabia's flushing mountain bars | C |
| Despite your weird disfigurement and scars | C |
| You dwarf all other monuments Sublime | B |
| Survivors of old Thebes you baffle Time | B |
| And sit in silent conclave with the Stars | C |
| - | |
| Ah once below you through the glittering plain | D |
| Stretched avenues of Sphinxes to the Nile | E |
| And flanked with towers each consecrated fane | D |
| Enshrined its god The broken gods lie prone | F |
| In roofless halls their hallowed terrors gone | G |
| Helpless beneath Heaven's penetrating smile | E |
