Courage Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHG| O lonely heart so timid of approach | A |
| Like the shy tropic flower that shuts its lips | B |
| To the faint touch of tender finger tips | B |
| What is your word What question would you broach | A |
| - | |
| Your lustrous warm eyes are too sadly kind | C |
| To mask the meaning of your dreamy tale | D |
| Your guarded life too exquisitely frail | D |
| Against the daggers of my warring mind | C |
| - | |
| There is no part of the unyielding earth | E |
| Even bare rocks where the eagles build their nest | F |
| Will give us undisturbed and friendly rest | F |
| No dewfall softens this vast belt of dearth | E |
| - | |
| But in the socket chiseled teeth of strife | G |
| That gleam in serried files in all the lands | H |
| We may join hungry understanding hands | H |
| And drink our share of ardent love and life | G |
