Ante Aram Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABA CAB ACA CAC ACA CAC A| Before thy shrine I kneel an unknown worshipper | A |
| Chanting strange hymns to thee and sorrowful litanies | B |
| Incense of dirges prayers that are as holy myrrh | A |
| - | |
| Ah goddess on thy throne of tears and faint low sighs | C |
| Weary at last to theeward come the feet that err | A |
| And empty hearts grown tired of the world's vanities | B |
| - | |
| How fair this cool deep silence to a wanderer | A |
| Deaf with the roar of winds along the open skies | C |
| Sweet after sting and bitter kiss of sea water | A |
| - | |
| The pale Lethean wine within thy chalices | C |
| I come before thee I too tired wanderer | A |
| To heed the horror of the shrine the distant cries | C |
| - | |
| And evil whispers in the gloom or the swift whirr | A |
| Of terrible wings I least of all thy votaries | C |
| With a faint hope to see the scented darkness stir | A |
| - | |
| And parting frame within its quiet mysteries | C |
| One face with lips than autumn lilies tenderer | A |
| And voice more sweet than the far plaint of viols is | C |
| - | |
| Or the soft moan of any grey eyed lute player | A |
