Ireland Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD| In the wild and lurid desert in the thunder travelled ways | A |
| 'Neath the night that ever hurries to the dawn that still delays | A |
| There she clutches at illusions and she seeks a phantom goal | B |
| With the unattaining passion that consumes the unsleeping soul | B |
| And calamity enfolds her like the shadow of a ban | C |
| And the niggardness of Nature makes the misery of man | C |
| And in vain the hand is stretched to lift her stumbling in the gloom | D |
| While she follows the mad fen fire that conducts her to her doom | D |
