Demos Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACBA DCCECE| So little have you seen of what awaits | A |
| Your fevered glimpse of a democracy | B |
| Confused and foiled with an equality | B |
| Not equal to the envy it creates | A |
| That you see not how near you are the gates | A |
| Of an old king who listens fearfully | C |
| To you that are outside and are to be | B |
| The noisy lords of imminent estates | A |
| - | |
| Rather be then your prayer that you shall have | D |
| Your kingdom undishonored Having all | C |
| See not the great among you for the small | C |
| But hear their silence for the few shall save | E |
| The many or the many are to fall | C |
| Still to be wrangling in a noisy grave | E |
