The Poets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADDA EFFEGH| Half god half brute within the self same shell | A |
| Changers with every hour from dawn till even | B |
| Who dream with angels in the gate of heaven | C |
| And skirt with curious eyes the brinks of hell | A |
| Children of Pan whom some the few love well | A |
| But most draw back and know not what to say | D |
| Poor shining angels whom the hoofs betray | D |
| Whose pinions frighten with their goatish smell | A |
| - | |
| Half brutish half divine but all of earth | E |
| Half way 'twixt hell and heaven near to man | F |
| The whole world's tangle gathered in one span | F |
| Full of this human torture and this mirth | E |
| Life with its hope and error toil and bliss | G |
| Earth born earth reared ye know it as it is | H |
