Anarchy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| I saw a city filled with lust and shame | A |
| Where men like wolves slunk through the grim half light | B |
| And sudden in the midst of it there came | A |
| One who spoke boldly for the cause of Right | B |
| - | |
| And speaking fell before that brutish race | C |
| Like some poor wren that shrieking eagles tear | D |
| While brute Dishonour with her bloodless face | C |
| Stood by and smote his lips that moved in prayer | D |
| - | |
| Speak not of God In centuries that word | E |
| Hath not been uttered Our own king are we | F |
| And God stretched forth his finger as He heard | E |
| And o'er it cast a thousand leagues of sea | F |
