Gentleness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDDC EFGEFG| Blind multitudes that jar confusedly | A |
| At strife earth's children will ye never rest | B |
| From toils made hateful here and dawns distressed | B |
| With ravelling self engendered misery | C |
| And will ye never know till sleep shall see | C |
| Your graves how dreadful and how dark indeed | D |
| Are pride self will and blind voiced anger greed | D |
| And malice with its subtle cruelty | C |
| - | |
| How beautiful is gentleness whose face | E |
| Like April sunshine or the summer rain | F |
| Swells everywhere the buds of generous thought | G |
| So easy and so sweet it is its grace | E |
| Smoothes out so soon the tangled knots of pain | F |
| Can ye not learn it will ye not be taught | G |
