This Is Another Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDAEFGHI JBKLMNOP QRSTBUVB| I am mine own priest and I shrive myself | A |
| Of all my wasted yesterdays Though sin | B |
| And sloth and foolishness and all ill weeds | C |
| Of error evil and neglect grow rank | D |
| And ugly there I dare forgive myself | A |
| That error sin and sloth and foolishness | E |
| God knows that yesterday I played the fool | F |
| God knows that yesterday I played the knave | G |
| But shall I therefore cloud this new dawn o'er | H |
| With fog of futile sighs and vain regrets | I |
| - | |
| This is another day And flushed Hope walks | J |
| Adown the sunward slopes with golden shoon | B |
| This is another day and its young strength | K |
| Is laid upon the quivering hills until | L |
| Like Egypt's Memnon they grow quick with song | M |
| This is another day and the bold world | N |
| Leaps up and grasps its light and laughs as leapt | O |
| Prometheus up and wrenched the fire from Zeus | P |
| - | |
| This is another day are its eyes blurred | Q |
| With maudlin grief for any wasted past | R |
| A thousand thousand failures shall not daunt | S |
| Let dust clasp dust death death I am alive | T |
| And out of all the dust and death of mine | B |
| Old selves I dare to lift a singing heart | U |
| And living faith my spirit dares drink deep | V |
| Of the red mirth mantling in the cup of morn | B |
