Xxxvi: Revolution Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| West and away the wheels of darkness roll | A |
| Day's beamy banner up the east is borne | B |
| Spectres and fears the nightmare and her foal | A |
| Drown in the golden deluge of the morn | B |
| - | |
| But over sea and continent from sight | C |
| Safe to the Indies has the earth conveyed | D |
| The vast and moon eclipsing cone of night | C |
| Her towering foolscap of eternal shade | D |
| - | |
| See in mid heaven the sun is mounted hark | E |
| The belfries tingle to the noonday chime | F |
| 'Tis silent and the subterranean dark | E |
| Has crossed the nadir and begins to climb | F |
