The Fugitive Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CAACAA| His shatter d Empire thunders to the ground | A |
| A myriad hearts peal laughter as it falls | B |
| While red flags flutter on its ruined walls | B |
| And living joy darts all the world around | A |
| The imperial criminal naked and uncrowned | A |
| Breathing a shuddering air of curses crawls | B |
| Baffled and beaten from his gorgeous halls | B |
| While Vengeance halloos lapdog cur and hound | A |
| - | |
| Behold the arrogant humbled and rejoice | C |
| The grasping hand holds naught but flying dust | A |
| And Envy meets the pitiless grin of Fate | A |
| Take warning of your own heart s inward voice | C |
| Bid your own soul be humble and distrust | A |
| The yelping promises of greed and hate | A |
