To The Nile Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACACADD| Month after month the gathered rains descend | A |
| Drenching yon secret Aethiopian dells | B |
| And from the desert s ice girt pinnacles | B |
| Where Frost and Heat in strange embraces blend | A |
| On Atlas fields of moist snow half depend | A |
| Girt there with blasts and meteors Tempest dwells | B |
| By Nile s aereal urn with rapid spells | B |
| Urging those waters to their mighty end | A |
| O er Egypt s land of Memory floods are level | C |
| And they are thine O Nile and well thou knowest | A |
| That soul sustaining airs and blasts of evil | C |
| And fruits and poisons spring where er thou flowest | A |
| Beware O Man for knowledge must to thee | D |
| Like the great flood to Egypt ever be | D |
