The Grave Of Shelley Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEDEDE| Like burnt out torches by a sick man's bed | A |
| Gaunt cypress trees stand round the sun bleached stone | B |
| Here doth the little night owl make her throne | B |
| And the slight lizard show his jewelled head | A |
| And where the chaliced poppies flame to red | A |
| In the still chamber of yon pyramid | C |
| Surely some Old World Sphinx lurks darkly hid | C |
| Grim warder of this pleasaunce of the dead | A |
| - | |
| Ah sweet indeed to rest within the womb | D |
| Of Earth great mother of eternal sleep | E |
| But sweeter far for thee a restless tomb | D |
| In the blue cavern of an echoing deep | E |
| Or where the tall ships founder in the gloom | D |
| Against the rocks of some wave shattered steep | E |
