Flowers On The Top Of The Pillars At The Entrance Of The Cave Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABABACDEDCE| Hope smiled when your nativity was cast | A |
| Children of Summer Ye fresh Flowers that brave | B |
| What Summer here escapes not the fierce wave | B |
| And whole artillery of the western blast | A |
| Battering the Temple's front its long drawn nave | B |
| Smiting as if each moment were their last | A |
| But ye bright Flowers on frieze and architrave | B |
| Survive and once again the Pile stands fast | A |
| Calm as the Universe from specular towers | C |
| Of heaven contemplated by Spirits pure | D |
| With mute astonishment it stands sustained | E |
| Through every part in symmetry to endure | D |
| Unhurt the assault of Time with all his hours | C |
| As the supreme Artificer ordained | E |
