Even This Will Pass Away Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Touched with the delicate green of early May | A |
| Or later when the rose uplifts her face | B |
| The world hangs glittering in starry space | B |
| Fresh as a jewel found but yesterday | A |
| And yet 'tis very old what tongue may say | A |
| How old it is Race follows upon race | B |
| Forgetting and forgotten in their place | B |
| Sink tower and temple nothing long may stay | A |
| We build on tombs and live our day and die | C |
| From out our dust new towers and temples start | D |
| Our very name becomes a mystery | E |
| What cities no man ever heard of lie | C |
| Under the glacier in the mountain's heart | D |
| In violet glooms beneath the moaning sea | E |
