Hope And Fear Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDCDE

Beneath the shadow of dawn's a rial copeA
With eyes enkindled as the sun's own sphereB
Hope from the front of youth in godlike cheerB
Looks Godward past the shades where blind men gropeA
Round the dark door that prayers nor dreams can opeA
And makes for joy the very darkness dearB
That gives her wide wings play nor dreams that fearB
At noon may rise and pierce the heart of hopeA
Then when the soul leaves off to dream and yearnC
May truth first purge her eyesight to discernC
What once being known leaves time no power to appallD
Till yoiuth at last ere yet youth be not learnC
The kind wise word that falls from years that fallD
'Hope thou not much and fear thou not at all 'E
