The World Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| Some are the brothers of all humankind | A |
| And own them whatsoever their estate | B |
| And some for sorrow and self scorn are blind | A |
| With enmity for man's unguarded fate | B |
| - | |
| For some there is a music all day long | C |
| Like flutes in Paradise they are so glad | D |
| And there is hell's eternal under song | C |
| Of curses and the cries of men gone mad | D |

| Some say the Scheme with love stands luminous | E |
| Some say 't were better back to chaos hurled | F |
| And so 't is what we are that makes for us | E |
| The measure and the meaning of the world | F |
