Rome Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAA BBACD ECDE| IMPERIAL city slumb'ring on the throne | A |
| Of vanished empire once thy voice and hands | B |
| Rocked the wide world thy finger wove the lands | B |
| Into thy girdle who for crown alone | A |
| Didst wear the stars Yet still in undertone | A |
| - | |
| Man hears thy deathless utterance tho' Time's sands | B |
| Roll centuries thou clasp'st the earth with bands | B |
| Of speech art law and subtle powers unknown | A |
| Thou wast not meant to die thy mighty heart | C |
| Pulsed with the universe Thy deeds of old | D |
| - | |
| Flame like the sunset skies thro' clouds which throng | E |
| They blazon on thy throne a name apart | C |
| In red of mighty victories in gold | D |
| Of all things valorous and great and strong | E |
