The Larger Hope Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEED FGGF HIIH JKKJ| Oh yet we trust that somehow good | A |
| Will be the final goal of ill | B |
| To pangs of nature sins of will | B |
| Defects of doubt and taints of blood | C |
| - | |
| That nothing walks with aimless feet | D |
| That not one life will be destroy'd | E |
| Or cast as rubbish to the void | E |
| When God hath made the pile complete | D |
| - | |
| That not a worm is cloven in vain | F |
| That not a moth with vain desire | G |
| Is shrivell'd in a fruitless fire | G |
| Or but subserves another gain | F |
| - | |
| Behold we know not anything | H |
| I can but trust that good shall fall | I |
| At last far off at last to all | I |
| And every winter change to spring | H |
| - | |
| So runs my dream but who am I | J |
| An infant crying in the night | K |
| An infant crying for the light | K |
| And with no language but a cry | J |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
