A Thought From The Rhine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQG R| I 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 |
