Beautiful Lofty Things Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHGIAJ

Beautiful lofty things O'Leary's noble headA
My father upon the Abbey stage before him a raging crowdB
'This Land of Saints ' and then as the applause died outC
'Of plaster Saints' his beautiful mischievous head thrown backD
Standish O'Grady supporting himself between the tablesE
Speaking to a drunken audience high nonsensical wordsF
Augusta Gregory seated at her great ormolu tableG
Her eightieth winter approaching 'Yesterday he threatened my lifeH
I told him that nightly from six to seven I sat at this tableG
The blinds drawn up' Maud Gonne at Howth station waiting a trainI
Pallas Athene in that straight back and arrogant headA
All the Olympians a thing never known againJ

William Butler Yeats
