The Sovereign Poet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CCDD EFEEF| HE sits above the clang and dust of Time | A |
| With the world's secret trembling on his lip | B |
| He asks not converse or companionship | B |
| In the cold starlight where thou canst not climb | A |
| - | |
| The undelivered tidings in his breast | C |
| Suffer him not to rest | C |
| He sees afar the immemorable throng | D |
| And binds the scattered ages with a song | D |
| - | |
| The glorious riddle of his rhythmic breath | E |
| His might his spell we know not what they be | F |
| We only feel whate'er he uttereth | E |
| This savors not of death | E |
| This hath a relish of eternity | F |
