To The Memory Of Claude Marquet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB BABBA CDCCD EFEEF DGDDG HH| Because to him the wise gods gave | A |
| Rare gifts to lesser folk denied | B |
| He might have thriven Mammon's slave | A |
| Rich in the goods that small men crave | A |
| But poor in all beside | B |
| - | |
| And yet because his was the pride | B |
| Possessed by earnest men and brave | A |
| He stayed by his weak brothers' side | B |
| And there he fought loved laughed and died | B |
| And went loved to his grave | A |
| - | |
| Because his was the simple heart | C |
| That found small lure in pelf or praise | D |
| For greater ends he plied his art | C |
| And asking little played his part | C |
| A rich man all his days | D |
| - | |
| The simple heart the single aim | E |
| That guided e'er his ready pen | F |
| The gay indifference to Fame | E |
| Things such as these shall leave a name | E |
| Cherished 'mid fellow men | F |
| - | |
| And we who knew that steady gaze | D |
| The open hand the ready laugh | G |
| The fighting face and kindly ways | D |
| Know too his smiling scorn of praise | D |
| Yet this for epitaph | G |
| - | |
| A fighter all his days was he | H |
| Yet dying left no enemy | H |
