A Thought From The Rhine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQG RI heard an Eagle crying all alone | A |
Above the vineyards through the summer night | B |
Among the skeletons of robber towers | C |
Because the ancient eyrie of his race | D |
Was trenched and walled by busy handed men | E |
And all his forest chace and woodland wild | F |
Wherefrom he fed his young with hare and roe | G |
Were trim with grapes which swelled from hour to hour | H |
And tossed their golden tendrils to the sun | I |
For joy at their own riches So I thought | J |
The great devourers of the earth shall sit | K |
Idle and impotent they know not why | L |
Down staring from their barren height of state | M |
On nations grown too wise to slay and slave | N |
The puppets of the few while peaceful lore | O |
And fellow help make glad the heart of earth | P |
With wonders which they fear and hate as he | Q |
The Eagle hates the vineyard slopes below | G |
