Egypt Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADDEFEF| Fantastic sleep is busy with my eyes | A |
| I seem in some waste solitude to stand | B |
| Once ruled of Cheops upon either hand | B |
| A dark illimitable desert lies | A |
| Sultry and still a zone of mysteries | C |
| A wide browed Sphinx half buried in the sand | B |
| With orbless sockets stares across the land | B |
| The wofulest thing beneath these brooding skies | A |
| Save that loose heap of bleach d bones that lie | D |
| Where haply some poor Bedouin crawled to die | D |
| Lo while I gaze beyond the vast sand sea | E |
| The nebulous clouds are downward slowly drawn | F |
| And one bleared star faint glimmering like a bee | E |
| Is shut in the rosy outstretched hand of Dawn | F |
