Chance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFCF| Bow down before the daemon of the world | A |
| This monstrous god half idiot and half ape | B |
| With fumbling hands omnipotent to shape | B |
| A harlot's breast or build great altars Hurled | A |
| From the lost sun to sunless hell or whirled | A |
| Back to their heaven with equal jest and jape | B |
| All other gods shall nevermore escape | B |
| His will that once begot them Wars unfurled | A |
| With banners blown like ever wandering fires | C |
| From realm to realm conflagrant or the play | D |
| Of coupling mice or monsters wake alway | E |
| To his dominion Darkly born thereof | F |
| The troubling atoms teem to stars and byres | C |
| The leper's flesh the white flesh of thy love | F |
