On A Handful Of French Money Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFFGH| These coins that jostle on my hand do own | A |
| No single image each name here and date | B |
| Denoting in man's consciousness and state | B |
| New change In some the face is clearly known | A |
| In others marred The badge of that old throne | A |
| Of Kings is on the obverse or this sign | C |
| Which says I France am all lo I am mine | C |
| Or else the Eagle that dared soar alone | A |
| Even as these coins so are these lives and years | D |
| Mixed and bewildered yet hath each of them | E |
| No less its part in what is come to be | F |
| For France Empire Republic Monarchy | F |
| Each clamours or keeps silence in her name | G |
| And lives within the pulse that now is hers | H |
