Things To Come Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDEE FGFGHHII JDJDKKLL MNMNOOF| When you have gone and I have gone | A |
| Beyond the ken of earthly things | B |
| Yet watch the old race carry on | C |
| As to precarious life it clings | B |
| Gazing together from afar | D |
| Perched on some fixed or unfixed star | D |
| We may find cause to meditate | E |
| Full thankfully upon our fate | E |
| - | |
| And you shall say or I shall say | F |
| Those were man's great days yours and mine | G |
| Before his glories passed away | F |
| His kingship fell into decline | G |
| When he walked proudly o'er the earth | H |
| Questing his joy at its broad girth | H |
| Ere fear and folly claimed his soul | I |
| And bade him emulate the mole | I |
| - | |
| And you shall gaze and I shall gaze | J |
| In pity from our distant star | D |
| And witness thro' the cosmic haze | J |
| Earth's bosom scored by many a scar | D |
| Where in and out in furtive haste | K |
| Strange pallid little creatures raced | K |
| Short limbed large pawed with small weak eyes | L |
| That feared to look up to the skies | L |
| - | |
| We'll watch the timid little gnomes | M |
| So altered now in shape from us | N |
| Peer from their subterranean homes | M |
| Half vengefully half curious | N |
| Then at the barking of a gun | O |
| Back to their holes we'll watch them run | O |
| And I shall say or you shall say | F |
| 'These were earth's masters in our day ' | - |
