A New Heaven Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCCCDD| Seeing we never found gay fairyland | A |
| Though still we crouched by bluebells moon by moon | B |
| And missed the tide of Lethe yet are soon | B |
| For that new bridge that leaves old Styx half spanned | A |
| Nor ever unto Mecca caravanned | A |
| Nor bugled Asgard skilled in magic rune | B |
| Nor yearned for far Nirvana the sweet swoon | B |
| And from high Paradise are cursed and banned | A |
| - | |
| Let's die home ferry across the Channel Thus | C |
| Shall we live gods there Death shall be no sev'rance | C |
| Weary cathedrals light new shrines for us | C |
| To us rough knees of boys shall ache with rev'rence | C |
| Are not girls' breasts a clear strong Acropole | D |
| There our oun mothers' tears shall heal us whole | D |
