The Three Monuments Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFEF

They hold their public meetings whereA
Our most renowned patriots standB
One among the birds of the airA
A stumpier on either handB
And all the popular statesmen sayC
That purity built up the StateD
And after kept it from decayC
And let all base ambition beE
For intellect would make us proudF
And pride bring in impurityE
The three old rascals laugh aloudF

William Butler Yeats
