The Test Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGG| I hung my verses in the wind | A |
| Time and tide their faults may find | A |
| All were winnowed through and through | B |
| Five lines lasted sound and true | B |
| Five were smelted in a pot | C |
| Than the South more fierce and hot | C |
| These the siroc could not melt | D |
| Fire their fiercer flaming felt | D |
| And the meaning was more white | E |
| Than July's meridian light | E |
| Sunshine cannot bleach the snow | F |
| Nor time unmake what poets know | F |
| Have you eyes to find the five | G |
| Which five hundred did survive | G |
