Beyond The Great Wall Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHG IAAIG

Beyond the far Cathayan wallA
A thousand leagues athwart the skyB
The scarlet stars and mornings dieB
The gilded moons and sunsets fallA
-
Across the sulphur colored sandsC
With bales of silk the camels fareD
Harnessed with vermeil and with vairD
Into the blue and burning landsC
-
And ah the song the drivers singE
To while the desert leagues awayF
A song they sang in old CathayF
Ere youth had left the eldest kingE
-
Ere love and beauty both grew oldG
And wonder and romance were flownH
On irised wings to worlds unknownH
To stars of undiscovered goldG
-
And I their alien words would knowI
And follow past the lonely wallA
Where gilded moons and sunsets fallA
As in a song of long agoI
ENDH echo ' body' gtG
