Tiber, Nile, And Thames Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDEFD| THE head and hands of murdered Cicero | A |
| Above his seat high in the Forum hung | B |
| Drew jeers and burning tears When on the rung | B |
| Of a swift mounted ladder all aglow | A |
| Fluvia Mark Antony's shameless wife with show | A |
| Of foot firm poised and gleaming arm upflung | B |
| Bade her sharp needle pierce that god like tongue | B |
| Whose speech fed Rome even as the Tiber's flow | A |
| And thou Cleopatra's Needle that hadst thrid | C |
| Great skirts of Time ere she and Antony hid | C |
| Dead hope hast thou too reached surviving death | D |
| A city of sweet speech scorned on whose chill stone | E |
| Keats withered Coleridge pined and Chatterton | F |
| Breadless with poison froze the God fired breath | D |
