Time's Shadow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBA DEDEED| Thy life O Man in this brief moment lies | A |
| Time's narrow bridge whereon we darkling stand | B |
| With an infinitude on either hand | B |
| Receding luminously from our eyes | A |
| Lo there thy Past's forsaken Paradise | C |
| Subsideth like some visionary strand | B |
| While glimmering faint the Future's promised land | B |
| Illusive from the abyss seems fain to rise | A |
| - | |
| This hour alone Hope's broken pledges mar | D |
| And joy now gleams before now in our rear | E |
| Like mirage mocking in some waste afar | D |
| Dissolving into air as we draw near | E |
| Beyond our steps the path is sunny clear | E |
| The shadow lying only where we are | D |
