The Dragon And The Undying Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDC EEFGFGHH| All night the flares go up the Dragon sings | A |
| And beats upon the dark with furious wings | A |
| And stung to rage by his own darting fires | B |
| Reaches with grappling coils from town to town | C |
| He lusts to break the loveliness of spires | D |
| And hurls their martyred music toppling down | C |
| - | |
| Yet though the slain are homeless as the breeze | E |
| Vocal are they like storm bewilder'd seas | E |
| Their faces are the fair unshrouded night | F |
| And planets are their eyes their ageless dreams | G |
| Tenderly stooping earthward from their height | F |
| They wander in the dusk with chanting streams | G |
| And they are dawn lit trees with arms up flung | H |
| To hail the burning heavens they left unsung | H |
