The Rose Of The World Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAB CDDCD EFFEFWho dreamed that beauty passes like a dream | A |
For these red lips with all their mournful pride | B |
Mournful that no new wonder may betide | B |
Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam | A |
And Usna's children died | B |
- | |
We and the labouring world are passing by | C |
Amid men's souls that waver and give place | D |
Like the pale waters in their wintry race | D |
Under the passing stars foam of the sky | C |
Lives on this lonely face | D |
- | |
Bow down archangels in your dim abode | E |
Before you were or any hearts to beat | F |
Weary and kind one lingered by His seat | F |
He made the world to be a grassy road | E |
Before her wandering feet | F |
