The Falling Of Thrones Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB ADAD CECE| Above the din of commerce above the clamor and rattle | A |
| Of labor disputing with riches of Anarchists' threats and groans | B |
| Above the hurry and hustle and roar of that bloodless battle | A |
| Where men are fighting for riches I hear the falling of thrones | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| I see no savage host I hear no martial drumming | C |
| But down in the dust at our feet lie the useless crowns of kings | B |
| And the mighty spirit of Progress is steadily coming coming | C |
| And the flag of one republic abroad to the world he flings | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| The Universal Republic where worth not birth is royal | A |
| Where the lowliest born may climb on a self made ladder to fame | D |
| Where the highest and proudest born if he be not true and loyal | A |
| Shall find no masking title to cover and gild his shame | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| Not with the bellow of guns and not with sabres whetting | C |
| But with growing minds of men is waged this swordless fray | E |
| While over the dim horizon the sun of royalty setting | C |
| Lights with a dying splendor the humblest toiler's way | E |
