Hope And Fear - Sonnets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDCDE| Beneath the shadow of dawn's aerial 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 appal | D |
| Till youth 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 thon not at all ' | E |
