The Triumph Of Man Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC ECCE| I plod and peer amid mean sounds and shapes | A |
| I hunt for dusty gain and dreary praise | B |
| And slowly pass the dismal grinning days | B |
| Monkeying each other like a line of apes | A |
| - | |
| What care There was one hour amid all these | C |
| When I had stripped off like a tawdry glove | D |
| My starriest hopes and wants for very love | D |
| Of time and desolate eternities | C |
| - | |
| Yea for one great hour's triumph not in me | E |
| Nor any hope of mine did I rejoice | C |
| But in a meadow game of girls and boys | C |
| Some sunset in the centuries to be | E |
