The Dawn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEFGGAHFDA| I would be ignorant as the dawn | A |
| That has looked down | B |
| On that old queen measuring a town | B |
| With the pin of a brooch | C |
| Or on the withered men that saw | D |
| From their pedantic Babylon | E |
| The careless planets in their courses | F |
| The stars fade out where the moon comes | G |
| And took their tablets and did sums | G |
| I would be ignorant as the dawn | A |
| That merely stood rocking the glittering coach | H |
| Above the cloudy shoulders of the horses | F |
| I would be for no knowledge is worth a straw | D |
| Ignorant and wanton as the dawn | A |
