Strange Gods Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACACACA| THE great religions like men great of mind | A |
| Draw to them even those of hostile view | B |
| Many a barbarian in Athens knew | B |
| The temple porches who was grossly blind | A |
| To any god save one long left behind | A |
| Some hideous idol on a mountain blue | B |
| For whom his heart ached timorous and true | B |
| And lonely in the Parthenon repined | A |
| But home returning over difficult seas | C |
| To his own people had he no regret | A |
| No envy for those Greeks who bent their knees | C |
| Only where beauty and religion met | A |
| Could he forget the temple and the trees | C |
| Could he the grey eyed Pallas so forget | A |
