Responsibility Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBA AAAADD| Why are our ideals hid from hostile eyes | A |
| As boys in school hide toys from master's view | B |
| Let them be real as we believe them true | B |
| Real as our chartered laws and liberties | C |
| All precious rights that we possess and prize | A |
| Were ideals once unshaped unripe and new | B |
| The wild delusions of the crack brained few | B |
| The trifles mocked at by the worldly wise | A |
| - | |
| Some must be first and every coward blights | A |
| His brother's hope and spreading Truth arrests | A |
| While every brave man helps the world and lights | A |
| The flame of courage in a thousand breasts | A |
| So let us bear our meed of vulgar scorn | D |
| And wait the judgment of the years unborn | D |
