Barbarians. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHBIGJDKLM| As the crinoid star fish to the sea base | A |
| By his stem fixed draws bare subsistence in | B |
| His straitened sphere as in the sunless ooze | C |
| He turns on his long jointed pedicle | D |
| So are half bruted men barbarian brained | E |
| Endued with scarce more power to see and hear | F |
| The visions and the rumours of the world | G |
| So poorly apt to think and feel and know | H |
| As each turns on his dark time pivot in | B |
| A universal ignorance as it were | I |
| Far back in the beginning of the world | G |
| Disjointed and dismembered in the mind | J |
| And in the spirit so confused and foul | D |
| With no sign of truth's authenticity | K |
| As nature in their origin had jarred | L |
| The primal tone of man | M |
