Unrest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCD| Comes there O Earth no breathing time for thee | A |
| No pause upon thy many chequered lands | B |
| Now resting on my bed with listless hands | B |
| I mourn thee resting not Continually | A |
| Hear I the plashing borders of the sea | A |
| Answer each other from the rocks and sands | B |
| Troop all the rivers seawards nothing stands | B |
| But with strange noises hasteth terribly | A |
| Loam eared hyenas go a moaning by | C |
| Howls to each other all the bloody crew | D |
| Of Afric's tigers but O men from you | D |
| Comes this perpetual sound more loud and high | C |
| Than aught that vexes air I hear the cry | C |
| Of infant generations rising too | D |
