Amaranth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEG HIHI JKJK ELEL MNMN OPOP KOKO| ONCE a poet long ago | A |
| Wrote a song as void of art | B |
| As the songs that children know | A |
| And as pure as a child s heart | B |
| With a sigh he threw it down | C |
| Saying This will never shed | D |
| Any glory or renown | C |
| On my name when I am dead | D |
| - | |
| I will sing a lordly song | E |
| Men shall hear when I am gone | F |
| Through the years sound clear and strong | E |
| As a golden clarion | G |
| - | |
| So this lordly song he sang | H |
| That would gain him deathless fame | I |
| When the death knell o er him rang | H |
| No man even knew its name | I |
| - | |
| Ay and when his way he found | J |
| To the place of singing souls | K |
| And beheld their bright heads crowned | J |
| With song woven aureoles | K |
| - | |
| He stood shame faced in the throng | E |
| For his brow of wreath was bare | L |
| And alas his lordly song | E |
| Sere had grown in that sweet air | L |
| - | |
| Then all sudden a divine | M |
| Light fell on him from afar | N |
| And he felt the child song shine | M |
| On his forehead like a star | N |
| - | |
| So for ever Each and all | O |
| Songs of passion or of mirth | P |
| That are not heart pure shall fall | O |
| As a sky lark s to the earth | P |
| - | |
| But the soul s song has no bounds | K |
| Like the voice of Israfel | O |
| From the heaven of heavens it sounds | K |
| To the very hell of hell | O |
