Shakespeare Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECCE| A vision as of crowded city streets | A |
| With human life in endless overflow | B |
| Thunder of thoroughfares trumpets that blow | B |
| To battle clamor in obscure retreats | A |
| Of sailors landed from their anchored fleets | A |
| Tolling of bells in turrets and below | B |
| Voices of children and bright flowers that throw | B |
| O'er garden walls their intermingled sweets | A |
| This vision comes to me when I unfold | C |
| The volume of the Poet paramount | D |
| Whom all the Muses loved not one alone | E |
| Into his hands they put the lyre of gold | C |
| And crowned with sacred laurel at their fount | C |
| Placed him as Musagetes on their throne | E |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
