Vanishings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDEFE| As one whose eyes have watched the stricken day | A |
| Swoon to its crimson death adown the sea | B |
| Turning his face to eastward suddenly | B |
| Sees a lack lustre world all chill and gray | A |
| Then wandering sunless whitherso he may | A |
| Feels the first dubious dumb obscurity | B |
| And vague foregloomings of the Dark to be | B |
| Close like a sadness round his glimmering way | A |
| So I from drifting dreambound on and on | C |
| About strange isles of utter bliss in seas | D |
| Whose waves are unimagined melodies | D |
| Rose and beheld the dreamless world anew | E |
| Sad were the fields and dim with splendours gone | F |
| The strait sky glimpses fugitive and few | E |
