The Sphinx Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA CDDCDC

Wanderer behold Life's riddle writ in stoneA
Fronting Eternity with lidless eyesB
Of all that is beneath the changing skiesB
Immutably abiding and aloneA
The handiwork of hands unseen unknownA
When Pharaohs of immortal dynastiesC
Built Pyramids to brave the centuriesC
Cheating Annihilation of her ownA
-
The heart grows hushed before it Nay methinksC
That Man and all on which Man wastes his breathD
The World and all the World inheritethD
With infinite inexorable linksC
Grappling the soul that love hate birth and deathD
Dwindle to nothingness before thee SphinxC
