India Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABA CDED AFGF AAHA| A land of lights and shadows intervolved | A |
| A land of blazing sun and blackest night | A |
| A fortress armed and guarded jealously | B |
| With every portal barred against the Light | A |
| - | |
| A land in thrall to ancient mystic faiths | C |
| A land of iron creeds and gruesome deeds | D |
| A land of superstitions vast and grim | E |
| And all the noisome growths that Darkness breeds | D |
| - | |
| Like sunny waves upon an iron bound coast | A |
| The Light beats up against the close barred doors | F |
| And seeks vain entrance yet beats on and on | G |
| In hopeful faith which all defeat ignores | F |
| - | |
| But time shall come when like a swelling tide | A |
| The Word shall leap the barriers and The Light | A |
| Shall sweep the land and Faith and Love and Hope | H |
| Shall win for Christ this stronghold of the night | A |
