To Japan Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| SIMPLE You were and good No kindlier heart | A |
| Beat than the heart within your gentle breast | B |
| Labour You had and happiness and rest | B |
| And were the maid of nations Now You start | A |
| To feverish life feeling the poisonous smart | A |
| Upon your lips of harlot lips close pressed | B |
| The lips of Her who stands among the rest | B |
| With greasy righteous soul and rotten heart | A |
| O sunrise land O land of gentleness | C |
| What madness drives you to lust's hateful bed | D |
| O thrice accurs d England wretchedness | C |
| For ever be on you of whom 'tis said | D |
| Prostitute plague struck that you catch and kiss | C |
| Innocent lives to make them foully dead | D |
