Doom Of Exiles Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG| Now we returning from the vaulted domes | A |
| Of our colossal sleep come home to find | B |
| A tall metropolis of catacombs | A |
| Erected down the gangways of our mind | B |
| - | |
| Green alleys where we reveled have become | C |
| The infernal haunt of demon dangers | D |
| Both seraph song and violins are dumb | C |
| Each clock tick consecrates the death of strangers | D |
| - | |
| Backward we traveled to reclaim the day | E |
| Before we fell like Icarus undone | F |
| All we find are altars in decay | E |
| And profane words scrawled black across the sun | F |
| - | |
| Still stubbornly we try to crack the nut | G |
| In which the riddle of our race is shut | G |
