The Pre-adamite World Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCDEDECC| Who shall declare the glory of the World | A |
| The natural World before Man's form was seen | B |
| Fair stainless planet through the heavens hurled | A |
| And clothed in garments of immortal green | B |
| What depths of forest girt her What serene | B |
| Pastures were hers for cattle numberless | C |
| Owning no lord save her their guileless queen | B |
| Dear Nature's self who ruled them but to bless | C |
| If there was war in Heaven peace reigned on Earth | D |
| Not by disease did the world's life grow tame | E |
| But by the hand of God in drought or dearth | D |
| Or sudden palsy when the lion came | E |
| Death who should fear him or his mercy sue | C |
| Whose last pang was the first each creature knew | C |
