To India Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCCDD| O INDIA India O my lovely land | A |
| At whose sweet throat the greedy English Snake | B |
| With fangs and lips that suck and never slake | B |
| Clings while around thee band by stifling band | A |
| The loathsome Shape twists chaining foot and hand | A |
| O from this death swoon must thou never wake | B |
| From limbs enfranchised these foul fetters to shake | B |
| And proud among the nations to rise and stand | A |
| Nay but thine eyes thine eyes wherein there stays | C |
| The patience of that august Faith that scorns | D |
| The tinsel creed of Christ dream still and gaze | C |
| Where not within the timeless east and haze | C |
| The haunt of that wan moon with fading horns | D |
| There breaks the first of Himalayan morns | D |
