Ode Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBBBB BBCCDEDE FGFGFGFG| We are the music makers | A |
| And we are the dreamers of dreams | B |
| Wandering by lone sea breakers | A |
| And sitting by desolate streams | B |
| World losers and world forsakers | B |
| On whom the pale moon gleams | B |
| Yet we are the movers and shakers | B |
| Of the world for ever it seems | B |
| - | |
| With wonderful deathless ditties | B |
| We build up the world's great cities | B |
| And out of a fabulous story | C |
| We fashion an empire's glory | C |
| One man with a dream at pleasure | D |
| Shall go forth and conquer a crown | E |
| And three with a new song's measure | D |
| Can trample an empire down | E |
| - | |
| We in the ages lying | F |
| In the buried past of the earth | G |
| Built Nineveh with our sighing | F |
| And Babel itself with our mirth | G |
| And o'erthrew them with prophesying | F |
| To the old of the new world's worth | G |
| For each age is a dream that is dying | F |
| Or one that is coming to birth | G |
