East And West Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBB CBBCBB| The Day has never understood the Gloaming or the Night | A |
| Though sired by one Creative Power and nursed at Nature's breast | B |
| The White Man ever fails to read the Dark Man's heart aright | B |
| Though from the self same Source they came upon the self same quest | B |
| So deep and wide the Great Divide | B |
| Between the East and West | B |
| - | |
| But like a shadow on a screen mine eyes behold above | C |
| The yawning gulf a dim forecast of structures strong and broad | B |
| Where caste and colour prejudice by countless feet down trod | B |
| With old traditions crushed by Time pave smooth the bridge of Love | C |
| And all the creed that men shall heed | B |
| Is consciousness of God | B |
