Fancy Dress Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABABBCCDDEE| Some Brave awake in you to night | A |
| Knocked at your heart an eagle's flight | A |
| Stirred in the feather on your head | B |
| Your wide set Indian eyes alight | A |
| Above high cheek bones smeared with red | B |
| Unveiled cragg'd centuries and led | B |
| You the snared wraith of bygone things | C |
| Wild ancestries of trackless Kings | C |
| Out of the past So men have felt | D |
| Strange anger move them as they knelt | D |
| Praying to gods serenely starred | E |
| In heavens where tomahawks are barred | E |
