The Price To Peace Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| LONG since I taught my spirit to obey | A |
| The Sage's great commandment to forget | B |
| And so to lose life's bitterness and fret | B |
| And taste its sweetness and I went my way | A |
| Eluding joy and sorrow grave and gay | A |
| And lived exempt my being always set | B |
| Upon the striking hour without regret | B |
| Secure refreshed remote from yesterday | A |
| But oh my friend my love my very dear | C |
| My practised wisdom is a curse to me | D |
| I do forget and when you are not near | C |
| It is by Heaven as if you ceased to be | D |
| And I would buy with agony and fear | C |
| One hour one little hour of memory | D |
