King's Cross Station Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEBF GHIThis circled cosmos whereof man is god | A |
Has suns and stars of green and gold and red | B |
And cloudlands of great smoke that range o'er range | C |
Far floating hide its iron heavens o'erhead | B |
- | |
God shall we ever honour what we are | D |
And see one moment ere the age expire | E |
The vision of man shouting and erect | B |
Whirled by the shrieking steeds of flood and fire | F |
- | |
Or must Fate act the same grey farce again | G |
And wait till one amid Time's wrecks and scars | H |
Speaks to a ruin here 'What poet race | I |
Shot such cyclopean arches at the stars ' | - |
