Euclid Alone Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCD| Euclid alone has looked on Beauty bare | A |
| Let all who prate of Beauty hold their peace | B |
| And lay them prone upon the earth and cease | B |
| To ponder on themselves the while they stare | A |
| At nothing intricately drawn nowhere | A |
| In shapes of shifting lineage let geese | B |
| Gabble and hiss but heroes seek release | B |
| From dusty bondage into luminous air | A |
| O blinding hour O holy terrible day | C |
| When first the shaft into his vision shone | D |
| Of light anatomized Euclid alone | D |
| Has looked on Beauty bare Fortunate they | C |
| Who though once only and then but far away | C |
| Have heard her massive sandal set on stone | D |
