A Coward Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDDEEFF| By hardihood to rise and fear to strike | A |
| And fitly to rebuke his sins decrees | B |
| That hide from others with what care he please | B |
| Night sha'n't be black enough nor earth so wide | C |
| That from himself himself can ever hide | C |
| Hard fate indeed to feel at every breath | D |
| His burden of identity till death | D |
| No moment's respite from the immortal load | E |
| To think himself a serpent or a toad | E |
| Or dream with a divine ecstatic glow | F |
| He's long been dead and canonized a crow | F |
