Outside The Crowd Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEFGDF| To sit on History in an easy chair | A |
| Still rivalling the wild hordes by whom 'twas writ | B |
| Sure this beseems a race of laggard wit | B |
| Unwarned by those plain letters scrawled on air | A |
| If more than hands' and armsful be our share | A |
| Snatch we for substance we see vapours flit | B |
| Have we not heard derision infinite | C |
| When old men play the youth to chase the snare | A |
| Let us be belted athletes matched for foes | D |
| Or stand aloof the great Benevolent | E |
| The Lord of Lands no Robber birds annex | F |
| Where Justice holds the scales with pure intent | G |
| Armed to support her sword lest we compose | D |
| That Chapter for the historic word on Wrecks | F |
