To The Nile Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBDCEFFFFFSon of the old Moon mountains African | A |
Chief of the Pyramid and Crocodile | B |
We call thee fruitful and that very while | B |
A desert fills our seeing's inward span | C |
Nurse of swart nations since the world began | C |
Art thou so fruitful or dost thou beguile | B |
Such men to honour thee who worn with toil | D |
Rest for a space 'twixt Cairo and Decan | C |
O may dark fancies err They surely do | E |
'Tis ignorance that makes a barren waste | F |
Of all beyond itself Thou dost bedew | F |
Green rushes like our rivers and dost taste | F |
The pleasant sunrise Green isles hast thou too | F |
And to the sea as happily dost haste | F |
