Echo. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDDEEFGHIIJKLHG EEMGNN| Here Echo was thy reign of old | A |
| Among these hills a mystic crowd | B |
| Whose thunder rolled | A |
| When they speak loud | B |
| Still shocks the sea here thy hair grew | C |
| Long as a cloud whose shadow drew | C |
| Itself o'er chaos ere Time rose | D |
| With life and death and all of those | D |
| Who live and die whose weakest word | E |
| Thine ears have heard | E |
| Still as thou sitt'st with sightless eyes | F |
| On a bright cloud in the lone vale | G |
| Or leaning o'er a mountain rill | H |
| Dost hark the ebbing roar | I |
| Of a dead sea on some primeval shore | I |
| Whose unrecorded memories | J |
| Are like the language of old gods who fell | K |
| From some starred pinnacle | L |
| In the lost years as all things will | H |
| Too fall at last and the great tale | G |
| Of Time be never more retold | E |
| Ay e'en when chaos is re rolled | E |
| O'er the opprest and the oppressor thou | M |
| Unseen and but a word within that wail | G |
| Shalt pass as in a trance where thought may go | N |
| When all is lying low | N |
