The Prophet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADBAAEAEEA| Speak Prophet of the Lord We may not start | A |
| To find thee with us in thine ancient dress | B |
| Haggard and pale from some bleak wilderness | C |
| Empty of all save God and thy loud heart | A |
| Nor with like rugged message quick to dart | A |
| Into the hideous fiction mean and base | D |
| But yet O prophet man we need not less | B |
| But more of earnest though it is thy part | A |
| To deal in other words if thou wouldst smite | A |
| The living Mammon seated not as then | E |
| In bestial quiescence grimly dight | A |
| But robed as priest and honoured of good men | E |
| Yet thrice as much an idol god as when | E |
| He stared at his own feet from morn to night | A |
