To A Millionaire Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFFGEG| The world in gloom and splendour passes by | A |
| And thou in the midst of it with brows that gleam | B |
| A creature of that old distorted dream | B |
| That makes the sound of life an evil cry | A |
| Good men perform just deeds and brave men die | A |
| And win not honour such as gold can give | C |
| While the vain multitudes plod on and live | D |
| And serve the curse that pins them down But I | A |
| Think only of the unnumbered broken hearts | E |
| The hunger and the mortal strife for bread | F |
| Old age and youth alike mistaught misfed | F |
| By want and rags and homelessness made vile | G |
| The griefs and hates and all the meaner parts | E |
| That balance thy one grim misgotten pile | G |
