Brotherhood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBCDCD EFCCFCGCG HCCCCIJIJ| When in the even ways of life | A |
| The old world jogs along | B |
| Our little coloured flags we flaunt | C |
| Our little separate selves we vaunt | C |
| Each pipes his native song | B |
| And jealousy and greed and pride | C |
| Join their ungodly hands | D |
| And this round lovely world divide | C |
| Into opposing lands | D |
| - | |
| But let some crucial hour of pain | E |
| Sound from the tower of time | F |
| Then consciousness of brotherhood | C |
| Wakes in each heart the latent good | C |
| And men become sublime | F |
| As swarming insects of the night | C |
| Fly when the sun bursts in | G |
| Self fades before love's radiant light | C |
| And all the world is kin | G |
| - | |
| God what a place this earth would be | H |
| If that uplifting thought | C |
| Born of some vast world accident | C |
| Into our daily lives were blent | C |
| And in each action wrought | C |
| But while we let the old sins flock | I |
| Back to our hearts again | J |
| In flame and flood and earthquake shock | I |
| Thy voice must speak to men | J |
