Forgiveness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHI| Now bury with the dead years conflicts dead | A |
| And with fresh days let all begin anew | B |
| Why longer amid shrivelled leaf drifts tread | A |
| When buds are swelling flower sheaths peeping through | B |
| Seen through the vista of the vanished years | C |
| How trivial seem the struggle and the crown | D |
| How vain past feuds when reconciling tears | E |
| Course down the channel worn by vanished frown | D |
| How few mean half the bitterness they speak | F |
| Words more than feelings keep us still apart | G |
| And in the heat of passion or of pique | F |
| The tongue is far more cruel than the heart | G |
| Since love alone makes it worth while to live | H |
| Let all be now forgiven and forgive | I |
