Birthright Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD| Lord Rameses of Egypt sighed | A |
| Because a summer evening passed | B |
| And little Ariadne cried | A |
| That summer fancy fell at last | B |
| To dust and young Verona died | A |
| When beauty's hour was overcast | B |
| - | |
| Theirs was the bitterness we know | C |
| Because the clouds of hawthorn keep | D |
| So short a state and kisses go | C |
| To tombs unfathomably deep | D |
| While Rameses and Romeo | C |
| And little Ariadne sleep | D |
