On Reading William Watson's Sonnet Entitled The Purple East Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAAAACDCDCD| Restless the Northern Bear amid his snows | A |
| Crouched by the Neva menacing is France | B |
| That sees the shadow of the Uhlan's lance | B |
| On her clipped borders struggling in the throes | A |
| Of wanton war lies Spain and deathward goes | A |
| And thou O England how the time's mischance | A |
| Hath fettered thee that with averted glance | A |
| Thou standest marble to Armenia's woes | A |
| If 'twas thy haughty Dauther of the West | C |
| That stayed thy hand a word had driven away | D |
| Her sudden ire and brought her to thy breast | C |
| Thy blood makes quick her pulses and some day | D |
| Not now yet some day at thy soft behest | C |
| She by thy side shall hold the world at bay | D |
