We Are Getting To The End Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDECDE| We are getting to the end of visioning | A |
| The impossible within this universe | B |
| Such as that better whiles may follow worse | B |
| And that our race may mend by reasoning | A |
| - | |
| We know that even as larks in cages sing | A |
| Unthoughtful of deliverance from the curse | B |
| That holds them lifelong in a latticed hearse | B |
| We ply spasmodically our pleasuring | A |
| - | |
| And that when nations set them to lay waste | C |
| Their neighbours' heritage by foot and horse | D |
| And hack their pleasant plains in festering seams | E |
| They may again not warily or from taste | C |
| But tickled mad by some demonic force | D |
| Yes We are getting to the end of dreams | E |
