Hope And Fear Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDCDEBeneath the shadow of dawn's a rial cope | A |
With eyes enkindled as the sun's own sphere | B |
Hope from the front of youth in godlike cheer | B |
Looks Godward past the shades where blind men grope | A |
Round the dark door that prayers nor dreams can ope | A |
And makes for joy the very darkness dear | B |
That gives her wide wings play nor dreams that fear | B |
At noon may rise and pierce the heart of hope | A |
Then when the soul leaves off to dream and yearn | C |
May truth first purge her eyesight to discern | C |
What once being known leaves time no power to appall | D |
Till yoiuth at last ere yet youth be not learn | C |
The kind wise word that falls from years that fall | D |
'Hope thou not much and fear thou not at all ' | E |
