The Corner Stone Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFGHIH JKJKKK LMNOPQ

Sterile these stonesA
By time in ruin laidB
Yet many a creeping thingC
Its haven has madeB
In these least crannies where fallsD
Dark's dew and noonday shadeB
-
The claw of the tender birdE
Finds lodgment hereF
Dye winged butterflies poiseG
Emmet and beetle steerH
Their busy course the beeI
Drones laden nearH
-
Their myriad mirrored eyesJ
Great day reflectK
By their exquisite faringsJ
Is this granite speckedK
Is trodden to infinite dustK
By gnawing lichens deckedK
-
Toward what eventual dreamL
Sleeps its cold onM
When into ultimate darkN
These lives shall be goneO
And even of man not a shadow remainP
Of all he has doneQ
