The Rose Of The World Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAB CDDCD EFFEF

Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dreamA
For these red lips with all their mournful prideB
Mournful that no new wonder may betideB
Troy passed away in one high funeral gleamA
And Usna's children diedB
-
We and the labouring world are passing byC
Amid men's souls that waver and give placeD
Like the pale waters in their wintry raceD
Under the passing stars foam of the skyC
Lives on this lonely faceD
-
Bow down archangels in your dim abodeE
Before you were or any hearts to beatF
Weary and kind one lingered by His seatF
He made the world to be a grassy roadE
Before her wandering feetF

William Butler Yeats
