Ideal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCCDCDDEDEEFEFFGF GGHGHHIHIIJJJKJ| When all my gentle friends had gone | A |
| I wandered in the night alone | B |
| Beneath the green electric glare | C |
| I saw men pass with hearts of stone | B |
| Yet still I heard them everywhere | C |
| Those golden voices of the air | C |
| Friend we will go to hell with thee | D |
| Thy griefs thy glories we will share | C |
| And rule the earth and bind the sea | D |
| And set ten thousand devils free | D |
| What dost thou stranger at my side | E |
| Thou gaunt old man accosting me | D |
| Away this is my night of pride | E |
| On lunar seas my boat will glide | E |
| And I shall know the secret things | F |
| The old man answered Woe betide | E |
| Said I The world was made for kings | F |
| To him who works and working sings | F |
| Come joy and majesty and power | G |
| And steadfast love with royal wings | F |
| O watch these fools that blink and cower | G |
| Said that wise man and every hour | G |
| A score is born a dozen dies | H |
| Said I In London fades the flower | G |
| But far away the bright blue skies | H |
| Shall watch my solemn walls arise | H |
| And all the glory all the grace | I |
| Of earth shall gather there and eyes | H |
| Will shine like stars in that new place | I |
| Said he Indeed of ancient race | I |
| Thou comest with thy hollow scheme | J |
| But sail O architect of dream | J |
| To lands beyond the Ocean stream | J |
| Where are the islands of the blest | K |
| And where Atlantis where Theleme | J |
