Nos Immortales Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGH| Perhaps we go with wind and cloud and sun | A |
| Into the free companionship of air | B |
| Perhaps with sunsets when the day is done | A |
| All's one to me I do not greatly care | B |
| So long as there are brown hills and a tree | C |
| Like a mad prophet in a land of dearth | D |
| And I can lie and hear eternally | C |
| The vast monotonous breathing of the earth | D |
| - | |
| I have known hours slow and golden glowing | E |
| Lovely with laughter and suffused with light | F |
| O Lord in such a time appoint my going | E |
| When the hands clench and the cold face grows white | F |
| And the spark dies within the feeble brain | G |
| Spilling its star dust back to dust again | H |
