China 1899 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADCEDFGHFHG| She lies a grave disdain all her defence | A |
| Too imperturbable for scorn She hears | B |
| Only the murmur of the flowing years | C |
| That thunder slowly on her shores immense | A |
| And ebb away in moaning impotence | D |
| Giants enduring she and Time are peers | C |
| Her dream hazed eyes knowing no hopes no tears | E |
| Her glance a langour lidded insolence | D |
| And though the rabble of the restless West | F |
| In her deserted courts set their rash sway | G |
| She heeds them not as when the sun withdrawn | H |
| From his untarnished sky knows it distressed | F |
| By storm of weakling stars that he at dawn | H |
| Will wither with one ruthless glance away | G |
