Humanity Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBC DEDEDEEver exulting in thyself on fire | A |
To flaunt the purple of the Universe | B |
To strut and strut and thy great part rehearse | B |
Ever the slave of every proud desire | A |
Come now a little down where sports thy sire | A |
Choose thy small better from thy abounding worse | B |
Prove thou thy lordship who hadst dust for nurse | B |
And for thy swaddling the primeval mire | C |
- | |
Then stooped our Manhood nearer deep and still | D |
As from earth's mountains an unvoyaged sea | E |
Hushed my faint voice in its great peace until | D |
It seemed but a bird's cry in eternity | E |
And in its future loomed the undreamable | D |
And in its past slept simple men like me | E |
