Channing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCBDEEDFDF| CHANNING my Mentor whilst my thought was young | A |
| And I the votary of fair liberty | B |
| How hung I then upon thy glowing tongue | A |
| And thought of love and truth as one with thee | B |
| Thou wast the inspirer of a nobler life | C |
| When I with error waged unequal strife | C |
| And from its coils thy teaching set me free | B |
| Be ye his followers to his leading true | D |
| Nor privilege covet nor the wider sway | E |
| But hold right onward in his loftier way | E |
| As best becomes and is his rightful due | D |
| If learning s yours gifts God doth least esteem | F |
| Beyond all gifts was his transcendent view | D |
| O realize his Pentecostal dream | F |
