Robert Browning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEFDC

How blind the toil that burrows like the moleA
In winding graveyard pathways undergroundB
For Browning's lineage What if men have foundB
Poor footmen or rich merchants on the rollA
Of his forbears Did they beget his soulA
Nay for he came of ancestry renownedB
Through all the world the poets laurel crownedB
With wreaths from which the autumn takes no tollA
-
The blazons on his coat of arms are theseC
The flaming sign of Shelley's heart on fireD
The golden globe of Shakespeare's human stageE
The staff and scrip of Chaucer's pilgrimageF
The rose of Dante's deep divine desireD
The tragic mask of wise EuripidesC
