Egoism. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDCEEFFDDGGHHII| Not as mine their thoughts who pass | A |
| Each has his life's looking glass | A |
| Limning therein the light and shade | B |
| His own entity has made | B |
| I have my life's vision still | C |
| Coloured for me good or ill | C |
| And my point of view must be | D |
| But my own immortally | C |
| Could I guess at theirs or know | E |
| What shapes in their vision go | E |
| Lift the veil by day and night | F |
| That's laid on another's light | F |
| They might with a fancy free | D |
| Get too at the gist of me | D |
| And with a plebeian shout | G |
| Turn the Gods I worship out | G |
| To be in a concourse lewd | H |
| Jeered at by the multitude | H |
| While I with a reeling brain | I |
| Talked with Demons in the fane | I |
